Description
Summary:This article presents the general lines in which a significant part of the Marxist reflections on nature has been carried out since the end of the 19th century. Focus is given, in particular, to the controversy regarding how dialectics should relate to nature – a subject that has been variously developed throughout the 20th century, leaving marks in the most recent considerations of Marxist ecology. It will be argued that this debate contemplated different conceptions of nature, despite being dominated by a restricted meaning of dialectics (which was primarily associated, in that context, with the form of cognition and with the object,considered independently of, or in relation to, cognition). Finally, it is suggested that the debate could benefit from incorporating an alternative understanding of dialectics, inspired by Marxist literature that, from the 1960s onwards, focusedon the dimension of the mode of exposition of the analysis.
