| Since the dawn of human civilization, freedom is one of the most important problems. Marx takes "human society or socialized mankind" on the Historical dimension and future trait as the starting point and the ultimate purpose of his theory, and the train of thought practices-- "the critical weapons" runs through modern his freedom viewpoint. Marx discloses the true senses of viewpoint of freedom from the regulation in human's social relationships, which is also the substantial difference between person and other natural species such as animals and plants. The natural world is the material base for human being becoming the existential thing with object, and only standing on man's activity and its conditions can people comprehend that why man is man. It is social relationships (including economic and political relationships, etc.) that decide the human's existent pattern. Individual's freedom is in certain social relationships, so the development of freedom and changes in social relationships have inherent consistency, while the basic stand of the theory of freedom about Marx exists in "realistic individual". The key to grasp his freedom viewpoint is a profound understanding of Marx's practical implications, regarding practice as the premise and foundation of human's freedom becoming reality, and the base for individual and its society exists in human's material produce while without it there is no human's freedom, and the enrichment and change of human's freedom rely on the deepening and expansion of practice. Implementation and corroboration of the freedom not only rely on the grasp and recognition of the objective inevitability, but also depend on the promotion of cognitive level and practical ability of human subject. Freedom is a gradual progressive course with the development of the society, and the basic modes of the individual existence and the freedom level of development are different in different social formations. |
