Abstract:
Marx and Engels’s ecological criticism on capitalism and their reflection on ecological Marxism concerning the life style of capitalism from such perspectives as consumption, need, and happiness provide an important theoretical basis and inspiration for us to critically examine the modern life concept. The modern life style based on “mass production and mass consumption” is an important factor causing the depletion of natural resources, environmental pollution and ecological imbalance. The Chinese society in the process of industrialization is also faced with the destruction of the ecological environment in modern life. Given Marx’s ecological thought and the unsustainability of modern life style, we should work for an ecological turn of modern life. A new mode of ecological life lies in our cultivation of: a notion of demand which transcends the material needs; a notion of sustainable consumption; and a notion of happiness which is built upon ecological harmony.
