A Comparative Study Of Marx's And Mill's Free Thought

Freedom is an ever-new topic,ranging from national spirit,political democracy and social legal system,down to individual rights,personal life and personality development,all of which are closely related to freedom.It is also an unavoidable topic for philosophers at home and abroad.John Mill was an important representative of the heyday of Western liberalism in the nineteenth century,and his book On Liberty is also known as the "Bible" of liberalism.Marx happened to be in the same era as Mill,and the issue of freedom was also a central issue in Marx's philosophy.This paper is divided into three chapters.First,it systematically sorts out the era environment,ideological source,ideological content,etc.of Marx's and Mill's free thoughts,and then compares their free thoughts,and discusses the fit and differences after the comparison.This paper argues that Marx and Mill are parallel in the ideological path of paying attention to reality and pursuing freedom.Among them,the attention to the same problem and field is the intersection of their thoughts,which is their convergence,and the rest are more Most of them are different perspectives and different answers to the same question,which is the difference."Parallel" provides a reasonable space for comparison,and "fit" and "difference" build the content of the comparison.In addition,the ideological development paths of Marx and Mill also represent the two major ideological schools of classical liberalism and Marxism.If the focus of the comparison of their free thoughts is accurate enough and the content basis is rich and detailed,then such a comparison It will also see the big from the small,and harvest valuable theoretical results.
