Abstract Focusing on the relation between Karl Marx and liberalism, this interview explores some important subjects such as the diverse origins of Karl Marxs thoughts, his absorption and transcendence of the achievements of the Enlightenment Movement, and the blue prints of the future communist society. Based on close reading of Marxs works and deep understanding of the relevant intellectual background, Dr. David Leopold draws a vivid picture of Marxs thoughts for us. He holds the viewpoint that,by the specific theoretical approaches,Marx inherits and transcends the modern liberalist concept of liberty,and supplies us with a blue print of human prosperity which is worthy to be pursued and explored. From this perspective, it is reasonable to say that Marx is the son of liberty who critically inherited the modern spirit of liberty.
