Abstract

At present, the global ecological environment continues to deteriorate, with increasingly severe issues such as resource scarcity and environmental pollution. The ecological crisis has become a key constraint on the sustainable development of human society, making the modern value reconstruction of the Marxist view of nature highly relevant. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the core components of the Marxist view of nature, including the objectified relationship between humans and nature, the ecological mediating role of labor, and the socio-historical character of nature. From the perspectives of addressing the ecological crisis, improving theoretical systems, and guiding ecological civilization construction, this paper discusses the necessity of reconstructing its modern value. It also proposes targeted reconstruction paths, such as reinforcing the concept of a community of life between humans and nature, promoting transformations in green production modes, and improving the legal and policy system for ecological protection. These paths aim to offer theoretical support and practical guidance for mitigating the ecological crisis and advancing ecological civilization, ultimately achieving harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature and sustainable social development.
