The Ideal and Realistic Dimensions of Marx's View of Freedom——Based on the Investigation of"Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844"
In the"Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844,Marx's view of freedom contains both an ideal dimension that necessarily exists and a realistic dimension that is inherently generated.In the ideal dimension,freedom represents a realm,symbolizing the aspiration towards a liberated future society,while in the realistic dimension,freedom manifests as a process,revealing the dilemmas of freedom within capitalist society.These two dimensions are the premise of each other:the ideal dimension provides value goals and practical directions for the dimension of Realistic and the realistic dimension is an essential approach to the ideal dimension,and the inner unity of the two is the key to exploring how freedom is possible.Consequently,examining the ideal and realistic dimensions of freedom thought and their relationship is of positive significance for elucidating the true nature of Marx's concept of freedom and addressing the paradoxical state of freedom in contemporary society.
