The End of History and Its Ideal Society——On Hegel's Fukuyama's and Marx's View of the End of History
Liberal democracy is the"end of history",which is Fukuyama's core viewpoint.Fukuyama believes that the"end of history"refers to the directional issue of history,emphasizing the rationality of freedom and democracy as a value goal.Based on this,he believes that both Hegel and Marx advocate for the end of history.World history is nothing more than the history of the realization of freedom,which is the historical thought shared by Hegel,Fukuyama,and Marx.However,they hold different visions of an ideal society to"end"history,with free states,communism,and free democracy being regarded as the highest stages of history.Fukuyama's vague statement on the meaning of"ending"history of freedom and democracy confuses the difference between the concept of freedom and democracy and the model of freedom and democracy.
