Abstract

China’s choice of Marxism can be attributed to both historical inevitability and cultural factors. It is crucial to examine the cultural reasons, as Marxism exhibits certain ideological correspondence with Confucianism, a cornerstone of traditional Chinese culture. One notable aspect is the alignment of historical perspectives between Marxism and Confucianism, along with their deep convergence on the concept of freedom. These similarities offer potential cultural possibilities for adapting Marxism to the Chinese context

Keywords Marxism, Confucianism, historical logic, realm of freedom, correspondence
