环境政治学视域下生态马克思主义研究——以詹姆斯·奥康纳《自然的理由》为例

The Study of Ecological Marxism From the Perspective of Environmental Politics——An Example of James O’Connor’s “The Reason of Nature”

生态马克思主义是当代西方极具影响力的思潮之一,詹姆斯·奥康纳在其著作《自然的理由——生态学马克思主义研究》中,论述了生态马克思主义的基本内涵,阐明了资本主义及其本质,然后从环境政治学视角重构传统历史唯物主义,拓展了历史唯物主义的双重维度,对资本主义矛盾导致的双重危机展开了假定和剖析。奥康纳的生态理论丰富并发展了马克思主义的生态学思想,对解决全球性生态环境问题、推进我国生态文明建设有重要价值和启示意义。

Ecological Marxism is one of the most influential trends of thought in contemporary western countries. In his book “The Reason for Nature——Ecological Marxism Research”,James O’Connor discussed the basic connotation of ecological Marxism, clarified capitalism and its essence, and then reconstructed traditional historical materialism from the perspective of environmental politics, expanding the dual dimensions of historical materialism. The author also assumes and analyzes the double crisis caused by capitalist contradictions. O’Connor’s ecological theory enriches and develops Marxist ecological thought, which is of great value and enlightenment for solving global ecological environmental problems and promoting the construction of ecological civilization in China.
