At present,it has great theoretical value and practical significance for reinforcing the research of Marx's human rights theory.Marx's human rights theory is an important component of Marxism,and it contains very affluent ideology.This paper analyses several essential characteristics of human rights theory.Partâ… :This part expounds the basis of historical materialism and dialectical critical principles of human rights theory.Marx coasidered the individual as a product of social relations and historical conditions,and he delimited the essence of human with social relation.Concerning Marx's scientific definition of practical person,it can be summed up as:human and society create and transform mutually on the basis of objective activity.Marx analyses the human rights on the basis of the relationship between people and society.Marx started from the basis of all the activity of human - human's material practice and social relations,which established a solid foundation of history conception of materialism and human rights theory."Real human" gets its entire meaning only by comprehending it as a practical entity......"People who engage in practical activity and material producing,thus,can behave themselves actively under the circumstance of materials but without the domination of definition premise and condition of materials"In this way,Marx revealed the secret of class nature and the history of human rights.Besides historical materialism,the dialectics is also an important part of Marx's philosophy.Dialectics was not originated by Marx,it was inherited from Hegel philosophy.The essence of dialectics is critical and revolutionary.Marx's dialectics is a very important methodological basic of historical materialism.Partâ…¡:This part expounds the values basic of Marx's human rights theory. Because understanding human rights is rooted in certain values,ideologies and socio-economic conditions,countries with different social systems for the concept of human rights inevitably marked different ideological imprint.There is a long-term debate about Marxism concept of human rights and the Western concept of human rights between Socialist countries and Capitalist countries.Marxism conception of human rights evolved on the basis of criticizing the Western natural law theory,social contract theory and developed on the basis of talent,in short,there are three different aspects between the Marxism's concept of human rights and Western concept of human rights:First,different cognition of the origin of human rights.Second, different cognition of the nature of human rights.Third,different cognition of the standard of human rights.Partâ…¢:This part expounds Marx's theory of human rights liberation.Marx's concept of human right believes that human rights are both universal and specific and are the entity of universality and specificity.Marx believed that human rights had the nature of class in the classical society,any person is a part of a certain class,and any kind of human rights can only be a specific class of human rights that on behalf of the class's basic requirements in the field of human rights,there doesn't exist a human who is beyond the class,therefore,human rights also cannot go beyond class.Marx concentrated in analyzing the development of human rights and historic,his goal,on one hand,was to reveal the historical progress of human rights and historical limitations of capitalism;on the other hand,it describes the future of communist society the prospects for human rights and prospects,this is already an undisputed fact that human rights are now covered in many fields and have developed into well-structured,a variety of holistic,integrated system of rights,In general,as social development,human rights will also follow the development,and finally achieve "freedom and comprehensive development."Marx's concept of human rights established on the basis of scientific world outlook and methodology in order to ensure its rationality.Marx changed from idealism to humanitarian materialism and from materialism to the practical materialism,finally formed historical materialism.Marx founded historical materialism at the same time,his concept of human rights has grown to maturity,the way of thinking and the fundamental principle of historical materialism from the practice of understanding the problem has been established.Marx's concept of human rights revealed the nature and history of the bourgeois' concept of human rights in modern times.Marx deemed that the Western concept of human rights left the realistic base of human rights,only explored the issue of human rights abstractly,that is,they explored the ultimate base of human rights out of the economic base,they abstracted rights forming from social history as "natural rights", and they abstracted temporary history rights that were decided by economic base in specific historical stage as "Permanent right",and finally they fell into Metaphysics of human rights.Marx's concept of human rights told us that human rights are not absolute but relative;not universal and abstract,but concrete;not static,but historical; towards human rights,we must uphold the unity of the individual and collective human rights.Therefore,in the current complicated international struggles,we should use Marx's concept of human rights to make a positive response to the concept of human rights which proposed by the Western thinkers or politicians with ulterior motives,we should maintain the theory of authority of Marx's concept of human rights,we should puncture hypocritical feature,and we should smash the conspiracy of their violation of other state sovereignty and internal affairs.Nowadays,our country's socialist construction is in a new era,civilization and culture of socialist construction should not be delayed.Construction of human rights, we should fully excavate connotation of Marx's concept of human rights,adhere to the people-oriented principle and keep a foothold of practice,using fundamental principle of historical materialism,fully noticing and understanding some nature features of Marx's concept of human rights,learning and absorbing from the results of the latest theories,in order to enrich and develop Marx's concept of human rights,and serve for the great socialism.
