KARL MARX’ ECOLOGY: HISTORICITY OF SOCIAL METABOLISM

The purpose of this article is to attempt a conceptual reconstruction Marx’s ecological doctrine the historicity social metabolism. Based on texts Karl Marx and works other authors, using methods textual analysis, contextualization, extrapolation dialectical historicization, reconstructs in very first approximation dynamics three historical forms metabolism – pre-capitalist, capitalist post-capitalist. It shown how each these forms, due changes production labor energy between humanity nature, unique formations (totalities, universes) are gradually formed. In pre-capitalist formation as whole, there were mediated by traditional production, which simple reproduction aimed at creating consumer values natural exchange, ensured lack motivation for large-scale technological resource pressure nature and, accordingly, preservation relative balance metabolic equilibrium. formation, expanded industrial reproduction, included system private ownership means mass wage labor, total commodity-money market relations exchange unlimited valorization capital. Such determines growth anti–ecological exploitation desire “conquer nature”, understood an “inexhaustible storehouse”, leads gaps systemic contradictions universal productivist-Promethean logic Metabolic (for example, man city village, consumption, biological cycles) lead capitalism imbalances all spheres universe. future post-capitalist according Marx, emerge will be nature-saving production; reorientation from economy transition its sustainable forms; convergence countryside; elimination unnatural needs practices their satisfaction; increasing importance reproductive restorative activity; development orientation generations. relevance study lies fact that identified mechanisms past present metabolism, constitute immanent socio-ecological universe, allow not only predict ecometabolic features future, but also contribute gradual practical movement towards future.
