The Basic Content and Contemporary Value of Engels’ Thought on the Relation between Man and Nature

Engels’ thoughts of the relation between human and nature are extremely important parts of the Ecological View of Marxism, which is discussed in detail in Dialectics of Nature. Through this book we can see Engels’ thought deeply on how to correctly deal with the relationship between human and nature, which provides guidance for modern society to solve various conflicts. At the same time, it’s a caution to people: we should realize the dialectical unity between human and nature, not only to see the independence of human and nature, but also to see they are dependent on each other and keep developing in a harmony relationship. Only by deeply understanding the essence of the relationship between human and nature, can we truly understand the theory of “Two Reconciliation”, “Two Improvement” and “Natural Retaliation”, and make the leap from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom come true, and then achieve the free and all-round development of human, in the all of the world.
