Equality is one of the important topics from the ancient Greek philosophy,Marxistphilosophy is all the attention to equality.Marx’s concept of equality begins with thecriticism of the narrow concept of the liberty and equality of capitalism.In Marx’sopinion,freedom and equality which capitalism preached are logically conflict.Essentiallythey are only freedom and equality in the bourgeois,for the masses of the proletariat whichmeans not freedom and equality.To do this,Marx devoted to expose the hypocrisy and thelimitations of the bourgeois concept of equality is trying to through the height of thedevelopment of productivity and human’s free individuality, to overcome the inherentconflict between liberty and equality, to realize freedom of each person all-rounddevelopment and the liberation of mankind.Later in the1980s, along with the upheaval ineastern Europe and frustration of socialism represented the collapse of the Soviet union.Inthis background, how to defend marxism view of equality? For contemporary marxist andsocialist into one can’t avoid big problems.As a strong advocate of socialism and the analysisof the founder of marxism, Cohen has bravely accept the challenge of the liberalism, istrying to defending the equality principle of socialism.Cohen has believed that freedom ofliberalism is based on "self all principle", so in it, there must be freedom and equalitybetween the irreconcilable contradictions, liberals had to limit equal to defend their so-calledfreedom.Cohen has pointed out that if you weaken liberalism "self all principle", so, conflictbetween freedom and equality is no longer a problem, and equal naturally, can transcend"freedom" as the social ideal and pursuit.In this sense, the socialist principle of equality canbe reasonable. Cohen has not, of course, Marx overall affirmation of the principle of equality,but there are both insist on and criticism.Cohen has in the affirmation of socialist equalityideal at the same time, the internal logic of marxism equality also launched.in his opinion,marxism in the capitalist criticism and construction was carried out on the future social ideal,in fact also with the help of "the principle of self-ownership" of the liberalism, and marxismfor the future development of social productivity height and expectations is overwhelmingmaterial abundance is an overly optimistic.My article begin with the equality of Marxistwhich consists of its angles of history,society,"realistic people" and Cohen’s life times.Myaim is to defend and develop the equality of Marxist.
