The critiques on Young Hegelians is a significant part in the development of Marx's ideas and it's the premise of Marxist philosophy.Among them the critiques on Young Hegelians' ethical ideas is the call of the humanistic time.Either the critiques on religion,politics or civil society,they all aimed to the value of freedom and liberation of people.Many of Marx's deconstructions and constructions in morality were closely related to his critiques on Young Hegelians' ethical ideas.Thus,the research on Marx's critiques on Young Hegelians' ethical ideas is the gate to Marx's ethical world.Through this we will not only see Marx's special contribution on morality,but also his efforts to build the value for human being.It is because that the fall of metaphysics along with the death of Hegel impacted the world in two ways: First,it produced a new type of philosophy based on human practices,namely Marxism.Second,after the collapse of the supreme value,nihilism really became a huge crisis to human being.Nihilism is a problem born form the gap between the ideological inertia of metaphysics for about 2,000 years and its contemporary situation.It set a new demand for liberation nowadays,that is to rebuild values for people.Marxism is the new philosophy that reversed the trend of metaphysics,thus it's the way out for nihilism.There are four major Young Hegelian members,namely D.F.Strauss,B.Bauer,L.A.Feuerbach and M.Stirner.Against the background of the passing of Hegel and the coming collapse of metaphysics,they started to criticize the Hegelian system,trying to save metaphysics and find a way out for German and even human being.Although they work by the name of humanity,their understandings of the essence of human could not overpass neither the frame of metaphysics nor their class.Thus their understandings on freedom had the limitations of history and class.Their ideas on individual liberation are either effective only for elite philosophers such as themselves or powerless moral sermons which contribute little to fight against nihilism.Marx grew with the process of criticizing the Hegelian philosophy,meanwhile his understandings on freedom,liberation and Communism deepened.On the other hand,Marx started to understand human from a perspective of reality,came up with the new idea of world,the historical materialism.Finally he pointed out a realistic way out,the communism.Communism is not only a revolutionary form of the society and economy,but also enhancement of the proletariat and proletarians.It entrusted them the mission of liberation the whole human being and pointed out a realistic way.Marx's critiques on Young Hegelians' ethical ideas not only show a new way of moral revolution,but also have important practical meaning.What is most essential is that stable belief in Communism is a solution for modern people in facing nihilism crisis.
