Escape From Freedom To Pursue Freedom

Recalling history,the humans' pursuit of freedom seems an intriguing picture scrolls vividly in our deep thought. Freedom is the intrinsic nature and spiritual pursuit of humans,and humans history is also the history that people chase and achieve freedom. In history,none of the thinkers are unable to avoid the issue about freedom. Marx and Fromm, the two great thinkers ,had carried on profound exploration about it in different standpoint. Both of their freedom was carried out around the historical and realistic man; Marx and Fromm were convinced that humans society has laws to follow,firmly believed that people's freedom and the ideal society must be able to achieve;They carried out profound complaints and criticism at the capitalism with alienation, and built blueprint of human ideal society based on this; Both of their freedom had always put freedom,development,refinement and dignity at the center, and highlighted the great humanitarian spirit, we should learn from this in particular. While Marx 'and Fromm's views of freedom also had significant difference. There was great disagreement about nature of man,needs of man,views of alienation,the ideal mode of society with the implementation as well as ways to save people,research areas,etc.because Fromm's views of freedom was based on the non-scientific nature of people, focused on saving people with psychoanalysis and abstract love,and advocated to change the extant unreasonable social system with the bourgeois improved approach ,it was inevitable not to be utopian,and plunged into the plight of Utopia. While Marx's views of freedom based on the practice of people, built on the scientific foundation of historical materialism, Marx put achievement of freedom and the law of social development closely together,and took communism as the only way to realize free all-round development, which made freedom has complete connotation and scientific value. Therefore it has raised high the theme of humans freedom and liberation.Through comparison and analysis of the two views of freedom,can we deepen understanding for the positive aspects and limitation of Fromm's unique perspective in pursuit of freedom at micro- psychological level. More importantly,through the comparison and analysis between the two points of view,can we strengthen understanding to the science of Marx' freedom,but also reinforce our confidence to the entire humans freedom and liberation.
