The Anthropological Dimension of the Philosophical and Legal Aspect of Karl Marx’s Teaching

The paper examines the content of the philosophical and legal aspect in the multifaceted teaching of Karl Marx in comparison with the main paradigms of understanding of human freedom – legal positivism and liberalism. It is concluded that a person, having deployed his essential powers, on the basis of labour and active creativity, should turn from a means of achieving any goals into a comprehensive and harmonious personality as a necessary supreme goal of social development. Labour should be considered not only as a process that produces the objective wealth of things, but also as a process that produces society.
