| Summary: | Left-wing ecologists generally think that Marx’s theory of labor value is completely opposite to ecology because it ascribes the substance of value to labor. The contemporary Marxist theorists regard this as the lack of true knowledge of the dialectical basis of labor theory of value. Dialectics is a method of studying things in a holistic and relational way, while the method of value analysis is the result of Marx’s study of capitalist mode of production in a holistic and relational way. According to the method of value analysis, the unity of opposites among value, exchange value, and use value constitutes the fundamental contradiction of capitalist mode of production, which inevitably leads to the adversarial relationship of capitalist value form. Marx constantly ascended from abstract to concrete, from part to whole, and then, the meaning of value analysis expanded to the whole material world, thus, the ecological dimension of labor value theory was completely expanded. |
