This dissertation, based on the theory of the relations between market economy and human rights, analyzes issues of human rights in socialist market economic system. The main lines of thought are as follows. 1) The author analyzes the general relations between market economy and human rights from the angle of logic and reveals the dual characters of market economy and its positive and negative effects on human rights. 2) The author, from the historical viewpoint, analyzes human rights and its paradox and nature and the idea of emancipation surpassing human rights in capitalist economic system and the efforts made and setbacks suffered by the actual socialism in surpassing human rights in the traditional planed economic system. 3) The author, from the practical viewpoint, analyzes the unity of human rights and emancipation under the condition of socialist market economy.This dissertation consists of six chapters.In chapter 1, the author expounds the general relations between market economy and human rights from the angle of logic, analyzes mainly the dual characters of market economy and its effect on human rights, reveals that the origin of the dual characters of market economy is the contradiction between the form of freedom and equality and reality, the contradiction between the form of competition and reality, and human independence in form and material dependence in reality, and points out the inner unity of and contradiction between market economy and human rights. The conclusion is that market economy exerts both positive and negative effects on human rights because of its inner dual characters. These dual effects coexist with market economy. Therefore, the dual characters will always be effective whether market economy is related with capitalism or socialism although it has no system attribute. Naturally, the degrees and natures of the effects of the dual characters vary under different systems.In chapter 2, the author analyzes the human rights and the surpassing of human rights in capitalist market system.

The conclusion of this chapter is the thought of emancipation surpassing human rights of the writers of classics is a logic conclusion abstracted from the historical trend of the developed capitalist market economy, and human emancipation is a phased, long, gradual process even in the socialism established on the base of highly developed capitalist market economy. This means that those economically and culturally undeveloped countries, whenever they are engaged in evolution or construction, must base themselves on their own historical premise to pursue and establish the practical models and ways of emancipation.Chapter 3 analyzes the setbacks encountered by socialism in the attempt to surpass human rights and realize human, emancipation under the condition of traditional planned economy. Traditional planned socialist economy has its practical rationality under special historical conditions, but this economic system in a given period and surpassing the developing stages of socialism has its own limitations. These limitations will affect the development of economy, politics and spirit and restrain the overall development of the freedom of human beings. They can not realize human emancipation, but vice versa. The conclusion is that the actual socialism should not integrate its historical premise with the logic of human emancipation casually, otherwise, "it will return to the starting point time and again." It should comprehend the objective conditions...
