Real Personality And Abstract Personality

The Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right is the beginning of the demarcation of the world outlook of philosophy between Marx and Hegel.It is the first theoretical achievement of Marx’s turning from idealism philosophy to materialism philosophy.In the Critique of Hegel’s philosophy of Right,Marx criticized the important theory of abstract personality in Hegel’s philosophy of law,and at the same time launched a theoretical exploration of realistic personality based on historical materialism.We should pay attention to excavating its contemporary life force and providing necessary theoretical support for building a society ruled by law and a country ruled by law.Abstract personality theory in Hegel’s philosophy of right is not an isolated viewpoint and the existence of it is actually a link in the whole system of philosophy of Hegel.It is the application of its philosophy of mind and logic method in the field of philosophy of right.It regards abstract personality as the main body of society and defines it as "the will to exist in itself",namely the abstract will.The purpose of this definition is to integrate the reality of human beings with the abstractness of the whole,and to give the abstract existence a realistic connotation.Through the investigation of social reality and theoretical exploration,Marx set a solid foothold on the grasp of real people and opened up a critique of Hegel’s abstract personality theory.In the Critique of Hegel’s philosophy of Right,Marx pointed out that the abstract personality theory is the embodiment of Hegel’s abstract and mysterious world view by correcting the position of abstract personality in civil society and the state,criticizing the falsity of sovereign sovereignty,and emphasizing that law should be the embodiment of people’s will.In the process of criticizing,he demonstrated his pursuit of real personality: the real personality is based on the nature of society,and practice is the way of existence and the way to achieve it,so its development is synchronous with the development of history.The critique of abstract personality reflects the materialist world outlook completely different from those of the philosophers in the past.The ultimate value of his exploration of real personality is to pursue human liberty and emancipation.It has positive theoretical and practical significance for us to build a society ruled by law and a country ruled by law today.
