Individual emancipation is the fundamental problem of Marxist philosophy, and also is the value goal of Marxist theory and practice. The liberation theory of Marx is based on the criticism and transcendence of the capital logic. Capital logic means that capital as the subject operates in real life, that is to say the capital as a value, as the relationship, as a movement, as the power govern and organize the whole social process. And confront with the contradictions in production, exchange principle and systems. Dialectical logic is the core of the capital, which itself is not defective, the substantive conflict comes from the contradiction between the individual emancipation and capital logic. At the domination of capital logic, individual is as a alienational object, factors of production. Through dialectical analyze and transcend capital logic, Marx constructed a new paradigm of individual emancipation ethics, creating a realistic way of ethical practice.With the new technological revolution and the advent of globalization, capital logic gains a greater space for development and achieves a new performance style, that is, the symbolic of capital Logic. So the research on symbolic logic become an academic focus, the French philosopher Jean Baudrillard is a typical representative. Baudrillard takes the sign as the core concept and critiques capitalist society. Baudrillard think that in the consumer society the alienation of people is no longer the capital of alienation, but the symbol of alienation, and the symbolic logic has replaced the capital logic as the supremacy of the ontological existence.Therefore, if people want to achieve their own emancipation must go beyond symbolic logic. Baudrillard's liberation of the way is to go back to the symbol exchange of primitive society, this is destined to an illusion. Symbolic logic does reflect the new changes and new features of capital logic in today's consumer society, and in a sense leads to further deepening of the capital logic. But the capital logic is still the dominant logic in today's society and decides the symbolic logic, and more thorough in human research of nature or history issues.There are also capital logic and symbolic logic in socialist society, we should treat socialist capital logic and symbolic logic dialectical with materialism theory.That is both to see its positive role in human development, but also to see the negative effects on the individual emancipation. Accordingly to promote the full and free development of people. China's socialist modernization is the contemporary practice of going beyond the capital logic and symbolic logic. It is to prepare conditions for the ultimate liberation in the communist society. Communist society is the society beyond capital logic and symbolic logic. In this society individuals becomes the all-round development of people. And Individual emancipation can be achieved! But this is not the end, human survival practice will push people toward the direction of a more comprehensive continuous advance of freedom!...
