Marx’s Answer To Hegel’s Freedom Question

Freedom from ancient times to the present is a philosophical issue that scholars have paid attention to and studied,and an important part of Marxist philosophy.Marx’s idea of freedom is based on the answer to Hegel’s question of freedom.By inheriting and abandoning Hegel’s freedom thought,Marx internalized it into the theoretical background of the new concept of freedom,and thus formed a free judgment that "the free development of everyone is the condition of the free development of all people".The internalization and transcendence of the issue of freedom have opened a new horizon for people to view the issue of freedom.The condition of capitalist society and Hegel’s thought of state freedom provide historical and ideological preconditions for Marx’s idea of freedom.Under the capitalist private ownership,people’s living conditions of increasing lack of freedom and the inherent theoretical dilemma of Hegel’s free thought make it necessary to answer the question of freedom again,which also provides the external field and internal power for the construction of Marx’s new free concept.Hegel emphasized that the form of ethical freedom "in the other is in the self" is the true realization of freedom,by integrating individuals and society into an ethical country,the state of society as a whole is free.While abandoning and criticizing Hegel’s freedom thought,Marx answered the question of Hegel’s freedom from the perspective of the reality of capitalist society,and established communist freedom thought.Marx emphasized that the great development of productive forces was the material prerequisite for the realization of communist freedom.Only by eliminating bourgeois relations of production and private ownership can individual freedom be realized by making every member of society a free individual free from oppression and abundant in material.Furthermore,it is pointed out that "the association of free men" is the key to realize the freedom of communism,"only in the community can there be individual freedom","the association of free men" as the field of the realization of freedom,so that people not only become real free men,at the same time in order to realize the freedom of the whole community,continuously create conditions for freedom for others,to achieve the realization of individual and the whole society freedom.The problem of freedom in modern society is more prominent and presents itself in a new form.Marx’s concept of freedom,which is based on answering Hegel’s question of freedom,not only provides theoretical guidance for the speculative question of freedom,but also reflects the practical significance for building a free and equal society.
