This article is mainly about analyzing the spiritual critique strength which takes the initiation thought as representative through the symbol and achievement of the eruption of the French Revolution, as well as carefully examines the factors from which our society may profit immediately, that is, whether has some strength to help us to innovate. My subject is " Rationality critique and Individual liberation". Rational critique refers to spiritual critique or philosophy critique, which is one kind of rational reconsidering, that is the philosophers and thinkers' courage and consciousness of facing up to the reality of the society. Individual liberation is not only about liberation and standing up from failure through the class struggle, but mainly about free of the thought and spirit and the drive of the individual creativity development.On July 14, 1789 which attacked and captured the Bastille, was recognized the symbol of the eruption of the French Revolution. However, this suddenly event itself did not have strength of changing entire society interior life, but it's spiritual background enabled this violence scene to penetrate the history to have the special significance. 1789 not merely refers to be numeral time ,but to be one kind of symbolic significance. 1789 was not hero's time,it was independent, free, no fearing spiritual symbol; The genuine thing was" Authority Manifesto" which 1789 remained for the humanity.Enlightenment in 18th century are spiritual flowers in the human society advancement, How the strength of the thought affects the social advancement is the mainly discussion of this chapter's purpose. How the strength of spirit and the thought innovation actually is. Spiritual fruit in 1789 was the rational critique Spirit 18th century Enlightenment. Rationality is man's rationality, man's ponder and the judgment. Rationality is one kind of independent spirit. Rationality as result of asking for the real spirit is one kind of critique, inquired into spirit. Moreover, rationality is one kind of constructive creation spirit. The rational critique spirit is one kind of reconsidering,exploring,independence,asking for the reality spirit.Revolution is the meaning of changing and innovating the human's destiny. The revolutionary essence is not bleeding with the violence, but the thought innovation. Only the thought's revolution is the absolute truth. Since middle ages, people's talent rationality was continuously controlled and constrained by the religious theology and the King's power. Now, it was time to summon person's rationality by the philosophy's name and restore its lawful right. The rationality which was new thinking mode must be raised highly in the critique. The rational supreme status must be established too. It was not less than a great revolution and the human spiritual great revolution at that time. The initiation rational thought has two master lines, one is from Pascal to Descartes, which was the French native previous rationality; one is from Bacon to Locke's experience rationality in England. The former slogan is "I think, therefore I am", "suspecting all", which is in one kind regards, the deduction, the denial rationality ;Latter slogan is "the knowledge is strength", which is outside one kind regards, the induction, the affirm rationality. The experienced rationality and the constructed rationality had created the modern west civilization and thought brightness together. The initiation thinkers advocated the rationality, and firmly believed in humanity's spirit progress under the rational direction and paid attention to the social domain. Enlightenment in 18th century is the critique times. The object criticized mainly is about the extant social system critique. Its representative personages were Voltaire,Rousseau,Montesquieu,Meyer and so on. And, free revolutionaries revolted Enlightenment in 18th century as well as the afterwards' French Revolution symbolized independent individual and individual dignity had awakened, also indicated the thinkers' highly warm to guarded to the human dignity.The initiation thinkers were light of human guide.They were the revolutionary pioneer, who were seeking for the pivot of the survival in the boundless universe, more important, they had awakened independent individual. The initiation thought had trained the entire generation of revolutionary for France, which were the rational practices and initiation spirit inherit. They were not heroes who controlled all, but everywhere actually has filled with the soul like wind. They personally annihilated in the wind, but the history has still remembered their name.hidividual liberation is with in humanity's life. The spirit in 1789 symbolized the modem individual's appearance, which indicated the person had really regained consciousness in face up to the huge despotic political machine under the suppression.The desire of striving for the liberation is same as the human life. The idea of establishing the society above the foundation of individual right which satisfies the common desire is a true universal idea. Between person and person can never have the absolute equality, but equal ideal is perpetual. This is the significance life at and the reason of the human's affair which evolves at. hidividual liberation is a process which the humanity unceasingly gets rid of the fetter. Individual liberation is the symbol which the human society progresses. Individual liberation is the result of human nature's unceasingly consummation, which is a method, a goal too. Individual liberation is the human nature's liberation, not only dispels, but constructs. Certainly, the construction is not the ultra cultural one, but in the present human nature's foundation, which is in face up to the complex human nature to make up with the construction. The philosophy critique is the way of individual liberation. Individual liberation essence is unceasingly innovation of the human spirit. Freedom is individual liberation's value. It also is all values of the human civilization progresses. Life is free, he may handle any matter as not to hinder other people's freedom as the premise. The freedom is human life value itself, is not only ultimate, but absolute. Life is free, everybody has freedom to pursue his'own joyful and happy. So long as not to harm other people's freedom, everybody has freedom to develop his creativity. Individual liberation is the result of the resistance; everybody has right freely to express his'own wish and speak what he want to say.Spirit always pays attention to the reality, it is one kind of reflection of demanding for the reality. Freedom is not the castle in the air.You will never be free if you only wait. Unless, you begin to strive for it.The thinkers play a summon role. The condition is free summoned. Summon is not the eulogy, but the critique. Not the blind critique, but the rational critique, which has intense rationality with values to criticize for the truth. Thinkers are society's consciences; Philosophy ponder is not the eulogy but the critique; Individual liberation and critique are with in.
