地球科学发展对恩格斯自然辩证法思想的意义

The Significance of Earth Science Development on Engels’Dialectics of Nature

地球是人类生存发展的基础,认识地球有认识自然和人类本身的双重意义。在恩格斯自然辩证法思想中,早期地球科学从新的地球观、地质观、生物观三个进路促进了新自然观的形成。现代地球科学成果深化了对自然辩证发展的认识,体现了自然辩证法思想的科学性。地球科学关于人地关系的新认识,有助于自然辩证法回应西方马克思主义诘难,彰显生态文明价值。深入开展自然辩证法研究,对坚持和发展马克思主义哲学有重要意义。

The earth is the foundation of human survival and development.Understanding the earth has the dual significance of understanding nature and human.According to Engels’thought of Dialectics of nature,the early earth science pushed the development of the new dialectical materialist view of nature from three paths:new earth view,geological view and biological view.The achievements of modern earth science have deepened our understanding of the dialectical development of nature and indicate the scientific nature of Dialectics of nature.The new understanding of the man-land relations in Earth Science will be helpful for Dialectics of nature to respond to Western Marxist criticism and highlight the value of ecological civilization.Further studies on dialectics of nature will be of great significance to uphold and develop Marxist philosophy.
