奥康纳的生态社会主义的价值考辩

Debate on the Value of O’Connor’s Eco-Socialism

奥康纳对历史唯物主义进行了重构,引入了“文化”和“自然”的维度,构建了自己的生态社会主义思想。在此基础上,他进一步将生态社会主义思想引入到生态政治哲学领域,通过对资本主义社会进行批判,指出其持续扩张性的内在本质必然导致生态危机和经济危机。他认为,不可持续的资本主义无法解决生态危机和经济,进一步主张将生态学与社会主义相结合,提出了替代性的方案。近年来,随着人民物质生活水平的提高,国家和人民对生态环境保护的重视程度也在不断提高,对绿色生态环境和生活环境的追求日益增强。奥康纳的思想作为时代发展的产物,对我国生态文明建设具有一定的启示意义。本文主要梳理了奥康纳生态社会主义思想的内在逻辑,对其进行辩证评价,阐述奥康纳生态社会主义思想的理论创新和理论缺陷,并分析其理论价值和局限性。

O’Connor reconstructed historical materialism, introduced the dimensions of “culture” and “nature”, and constructed his own eco-socialist thought. On this basis, he further introduced the idea of ecological socialism into the field of ecological political philosophy, and pointed out that the inherent nature of capitalist society’s continuous expansion inevitably leads to ecological crisis and economic crisis. He argued that unsustainable capitalism could not solve the ecological crisis and the economy, and further advocated a combination of ecology and socialism, proposing an alternative. In recent years, with the improvement of the people’s material living standards, the state and the people have been paying more attention to the protection of the ecological environment, and the pursuit of green ecological environment and living environment has been increasingly enhanced. As the product of the development of the times, O’Connor’s thought has certain enlightenment significance to the construction of ecological civilization in our country. This paper mainly combs the internal logic of O’Connor’s eco-socialism thought, makes a dialectical evaluation of it, expounds the theoretical innovation and theoretical defects of O’Connor’s eco-socialism thought, and analyzes its theoretical value and limitations.
