Study On Hayek’s View Of Freedom From The Perspective Of Marxist Philosophy

With the development of market economy, the relationship between socialismand liberalism in contemporary China is increasingly prominent. As a representativeof the neo-liberalism, Hayek critiqued the socialism and its planned economy bybasing on the principles of market economy. His thought has had a profound impacton the advance of neo-liberalism and capitalism, on the changes in the globaleconomy and political structure. His theory of experiences, both positive andnegative in practice, has some kind of significant references for the innovation ofMarxist philosophy and the practice of socialist. So Hayek firmly maintain themarket economy,Hayek’s concept of freedom is based on Classical liberal tradition，the AustrianSchool，critical philosophy. He proposed that established on the basis of limitedrationality of individual freedom， and that social progress depends on thespontaneous order，rather than rational pre-designed results. And then Freedom isdefined as the spontaneous freedom on the basis of the rule of law. Hayek firmlymaintain the market economy, opposition to state intervention and Socialism.Hayek’s concept of freedom and neo-liberalism are popular worldwide, caused someimpact on Socialism.Therefore it is necessary to carry out an objective,dispassionate analysis.As the concepts to describe the social reality and express the value demand,‘individual liberty’ is of significant importance to China which is undergoing asocial transition. So it is especially important how it could be understood from theperspective of Marxism political philosophy. With regard to the ‘individual liberty’,Marx highlights it could be realize by the complete social reforms, viz. bycommunism. Communism, which is described as the ‘association of freeindividuals’, in turn, provides a reliable hermeneutical approach for ourunderstanding of Marx’s ‘individual liberty’.The result is a historical reflection on Hayek’s view of freedom, is the product of the era of shock, Hayek thought in this context, to find Hayek thought status in thethought history, showing time sense of history thought its heavy and sharpsense of.Through in-depth study of Hayek thought sources, contribute to amorecomprehensive understanding of Hayek thought development andspiritualtemperament. Hayek was the champion of the accepted capitalism and amarketeconomy, he believed that individual freedom is the highest value, is thesource of the value of all others, and capitalism and a market economy is to achieveand maintain the most effective form of personal freedom. Hayek think thoseprinciples only re interpretation and liberal masters once advocated, many socialproblems will be smoothly done or easily solved this moment, Hayek tried toliberalprinciples throughout the philosophical basis for comprehensive analysis andsynthesis. In Hayek’s view of freedom and free system is a product of civilization,but not the design of the product, in other words, freedom andfreedom are notrational foresight and man-made achievements. Hayek experienced two world wars,so he realized the totalitarian brings to humanfreedom and development of suffering.Hayek holds that the theoretical basis of totalitarianism is due to abuse of reason andhuman design thinking on the development of the society, his goal in life is tocriticize the ideology. His starting point is to return to classical liberalism, to defendthe freedom and liberty. The academic thought and the political position of Hayekhave a profound impactother liberals, they all take the classical liberal in thetradition, to defend the free capitalist system, attack, planned economy and socialistpublic ownership. New liberalism is the continuation of Hayek thought and developfurther, they not only has a profound impact on the development of capitalist society,and on a global scale have a great effect, resulting in the international order, political,economic, cultural pattern of change. New liberalism is the essence of marketfetishism in the new historical situation of varieties, is the market fundamentalism.Although the practice has proved that, the new liberalism in the worldareshowing a decline trend, but it still or obvious or hidden way affect China’ssocialist market economy practice, therefore, to stay alert, in an objective,criticalunderstanding of Hayek and new latitudinarian thoughts, its essence to itsdross.
