The metaphysical interpretation of Spinoza’s concept of freedom obscures the light of his political thought and blurred his identity as a political philosopher.This is not only a "contempt" for Spinoza himself,but also a loss for us.One of the tasks of this paper is to include Spinoza’s concepts of entity,freedom,religious criticism and democratic state in his political thought system,and to restore the image of Spinoza’s political philosopher.In addition,the reflection of Spinoza’s political thought from Marx’s human thought highlights the transcendence of Marx’s thought is also the focus of this paper.Under the influence of many thoughts and theories,Spinoza chose Jewish theology,naturalistic philosophy and the thoughts of early political philosophers as his theoretical resources.He concluded the philosophical thought that God is nature,God is entity.And opened a new era of religious criticism according to the path of Machiavelli and Hobbes.In the context of Spinoza,it is everyone’s natural right to try to preserve themselves,but people are prone to be dominated by irrational passions in their natural state and become the destroyers of others’ natural rights.Only by signing a social contract and establishing a political state,everyone’s natural rights can be guaranteed with powerful political power.In the context of Spinoza’s theory,the political power of the state is only lower than the existence of individual natural rights,which means that everything,including religion,should show absolute obedience.A country separated from church and state should establish a democratic government to guarantee the realization of human freedom.Spinoza believed that when individuals acquire the knowledge of necessity,live according to the guidance of reason and abide by the rule of national laws,the liberation of human beings is completed and the freedom of thought,speech and belief is realized.The history of human beings has been constantly seeking liberation and freedom,which is also the ultimate goal of Marx’s humanism thought.Based on the reality and sociality of human beings,Marx explored the emancipation scheme of human beings and devoted himself to realizing the free and all-round development of human beings.Spinoza forcibly grafted the freedom of political life into the civil society,confused the difference between "public man" and "private man",and equated the incomplete political freedom with the real freedom of man,which was the basis of Marxist humanology’s criticism and transcendence to him.Marx believed that the essential attributes of human beings require that human liberation and freedom should based on the "private" of civil society,so as to realize the complete liberation and overall freedom of human beings.The liberation theory of human thought is a closely connected whole,specifically for the liberation of political,economic and labor three dimensions,the absence of any level will lead to the failure of human liberation,is not conducive to human freedom and all-round development. |
