Abstract

The Article XI of Theses on Feuerbach writes: “in the past, philosophers only interpreted the world, but the problem was to change the world”. This sentence is the most famous and well-known classical quote cited by scholars from Marx’s works and it understands Theses on Feuerbach from practice to knowledge to practice. This kind of understanding is not only in accordance with the requirements of Marxist theory, but also better highlights the feature of practice of Marxist philosophy, and provides us with an effective guiding ideology and method for the study of environmental ethics and quantitative ecological practice.
