摘要:By means of literature research, this paper will attempt to conclude the background and nature of ecological Marxism, will illustrate and analyze its four theories: ecological crisis, alienation consumption, steady-state economic model and ecological socialism. These theories strengthened socialist ideal and belief, however, they have obvious deficiencies in such aspects as replacing the basic conflict of capitalist society by the conflict between human and ecology, restraining the increasingly growing material and cultural needs of people with “zero economic growth”, and opposing “violent revolution”.
