ABSTRACT

Freedom is one of the core values of human society, which has been deeply reflected in different forms in different historical periods. The progress of human civilization is closely related to the development of freedom. Freedom includes not only political freedom, economic freedom and spiritual freedom, but also the harmonious coexistence and development of man and nature, man and man, and man and himself. The expansion of freedom is not only the result of social development, but also promotes the progress of civilization at all levels of human society. As Engels said: "All cultural progress is a step towards freedom." This paper will discuss several historical figures who have far-reaching influence on the expansion of human freedom, and analyze their contributions to promoting human freedom and how these contributions formed modern society.
