The present study, adopting the combination of logic and history method, the combination of theory and practice method, literature-interpreting method and comparative analysis method, made a systematic and comprehensive study on Marx's theory of liberation.First, the present study expounded the historical background of birth, the process of maturation and its characteristics of Marx's liberation theory: under the guidance of the Enlightenment thought, along with the rapid development of the capitalist economy and the resulting fight for democratic rights of the proletariat vigorous political struggle, Marx's liberation theory came into being and developed towards a mature, so it is scientific, revolutionary and practical.Second, the present study also expounded Marks'dialectical analysis on political emancipation: on the one hand, it confirmes its historic progressive nature, destroying the class system and the privileges in feudal society, and clearing the way for capitalist political and economic development. On the one hand, it reveals its historical limitations, i.e. political emancipation is not only contradictory, but also hypocritical. In fact, freedom and equality promoted by political emancipation is seriously constrained by money, thus caused more acute confrontation between people. Thereby, Marks criticized political emancipation based on the philosophy and political economy of the bourgeois, and also criticized the equal rights and freedom flaunted by the"utopian"image proposed by the political emancipation, and reveald the economic causes for this image.Third, Marks put forward his own theory, i.e. the emancipation of mankind theory. His theory overcome the self-interest nature of the political emancipation, and resolved the contradictions between human and social caused by political emancipation. Marks also put forward the objectives of the liberation of humanity: each person's free and comprehensive development. And he indicated the way to human liberation: free association labor should replace employed labor, making the human emancipated from labor, thus make people emancipate in all aspects and develop fully. Marks further stated the political, economic and ideological conditions that emancipation of mankind needs.Finally, on the basis of these research and analysis, combined with the contemporary capitalist society and the reality of building a harmonious socialist society in China, the present study finds out that Marx's emancipation of mankind theory has strong vitality and great effect on social development. Whether changes in capitalist society or building a harmonious socialist society in China is under the guidance of Marx's emancipation of mankind theory, especially building a harmonious socialist society in China is dedicated to the realization of emancipation of mankind theory. Therefore, we should insist on the thought of human-oriented and carry on country's construction of harmonious politics, harmonious economical and harmonious cultural morals under the instruction of Marks'emancipation of mankind theory, so as to gradually establish the politics, economy and cultural bases for the final mankind liberation.To sum up, our country's construction of socialism harmonious society must insist on the thought of human-oriented, be guided by Marks'emancipation of mankind theory, and solve the political, economic and ideological problems that people are most concerned about so that we can carry the socialist revolution to the end, and make the emancipation of mankind come true step by step.
