Throughout history,the word "freedom" has always attracted numerous philosophers to yearn for,pursue and think deeply.Especially in modern society,freedom as the core value of socialism is the most important element of social value.There are different interpretations of the concept of freedom in different historical stages.How can we understand the formation and development of Marx’s free thought? How to understand the essence and connotation of Marx’s concept of freedom? How to adapt to the development track of today’s society? All of us need to further expand the breadth and depth of the concept of freedom.First of all,the article outlines the basic connotation of Rousseau and Marx’s free thought.The starting point of Rousseau’s free thought is the freedom and equality of human being in the natural state,but out of the need of self preservation and perfection,people enter the social state and appear in the social state of conflict of interests and begin to move towards the non freedom.In order to solve the conflict and contradiction of people in the society,Rousseau put forward a reasonable and legal social contract to establish a moral community,people in the moral community through the obedience of public meaning to achieve freedom.On the basis of historical materialism,Marx sees the root of human freedom,that is,private ownership,and advocates the elimination of private ownership through practical activities of human beings to realize the ideal state of the real human free and comprehensive development.Rousseau had a profound influence on the shaping process of Marx’s free thought,but Marx was not a full collection,but was criticized and reformed by the practical viewpoint.Then,it discusses Marx’s recognition,sublation and Transcendence of Rousseau’s free thought.In the discussion of the concept of freedom,both Marx and Rousseau have seen the role of economic factors and all realize that freedom is a process of dialectical development,all of which take the establishment of community as a solution to freedom and the important influence of people in the process of realizing freedom.At the same time,in the three aspects of the free subject,the realization way of freedom and the ideal realm of freedom,Marx’s free thought has realized the sublation of Rousseau’s theory.Rousseau never broke away from the fetters of idealism.His free thought is full of abstraction,weakness and reality.And Marx,based on the viewpoint of practice,connects the free and the realistic people and the material society,and builds a practical and practical blueprint for the realization of human freedom.Finally,we can clearly understand the contemporary significance of Marx’s free thought from the two aspects of theory and reality.Practice is the essence and source of freedom,while Marx’s free thought provides theoretical support and value targets for the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.The construction and development of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era also provide material for the ultimate realization of human freedom in the aspects of economic,political,cultural,social and ecological aspects.Body and system guarantee.
