Abstract: Hegel's Philosophy Comment Preamble has a unique position as a good omen of the systematization of Marxism.It can be seen from the systematic construction of Marx's ideas on individual emancipation in this text.Based on absorption and transcendence of the religious criticism in Young Hegelians,Marx,first of all,attributes it to the premise of human emancipation to get rid of religion shackles and then to produce the need and ability of emancipation.Then,he analyzed the current situation of human liberation in detail,namely the “disorder of the times” in real life and theoretical life.In the above process,Marx refuted the relevant discussions of National Economics and Historical School of Law.Moreover,Marx also divided the Young Hegelians into “theoretical practice school” and “political practice school”.By way of criticizing their inability to solve the tension between theoretical needs and practical needs,Marx sought a way to break the limit of individual emancipation.In the end,he came to this conclusion through the analysis of various fields of German civil society:Only by accurate understanding the relationship between philosophy and the proletariat,can we realize the correct combination of philosophical revolution and political practice.It is in this sense that Marx has completed the substantive transcendence of Weitlingism and “Philosophical Communism”.

Key words: individual emancipation, religious criticism, political emancipation, systematization, the targets of criticism
