| description | In this article, Foster and Clark present their interpretation of the ecological foundations of Karl Marx’s thought, emphasizing his materialist conception of nature (mainly based on the critical natural sciences of his days), and the pivotal role that, according to his scheme, the contradiction between value, nature and work plays both in the accumulation of capital and in the degradation and disruption of natural conditions associated to it. They also lay out, on that occasion, a critical evaluation of an alternative line of interpretation that, despite resorting to the same Marxian vocabulary of “metabolism”, put forward against the idea of “metabolic rift”, a notion of “singular metabolism” that is, as Foster and Clark would argue, social-monist, anti-dialectic and even anti-ecological. |

Neste artigo, Foster e Clark apresentam sua interpretação dos fundamentos ecológicos do pensamento de Karl Marx, dando ênfase à concepção materialista da natureza desse autor (baseada, sobretudo, nas ciências naturais críticas de sua época) e ao papel central que, segundo seu esquema, a contradição entre valor, natureza e trabalho assume tanto na acumulação de capital, quanto na perturbação e na degradação das condições naturais a ela associadas. Expõem ainda, nessa ocasião, sua apreciação crítica de uma linha interpretativa alternativa, a qual, não obstante se apoie no mesmo vocabulário marxiano do metabolismo, avança contraa ideia de “ruptura metabólica”, uma noção de “metabolismo singular” que Foster e Clark entendem como sociomonista, antidialética e, no limite, antiecológica.
