Liang Qichaos analysis of freedom in On Freedom is mainly focused on revealing the evolution and variation of the term freedom in modem Chinese society.In his view,freedom is not only an indispensable element of an individuals life,but also fully applicable to the course of social and historical development.Liang Qichaos liberalism originates direcdy from the West,but is deeply influenced by the Chinese traditional discourse system and the overwhelming reality context of saving the nation in modem times.What is different from West liberalism is that the dimensions of Liang Qichaos freedom are developed at two levels,one is the individual level,the other is the national level.The former has the significance of enlightenment,while the latter has the significance of saving lives.Enlightenment and salvation are not only the double variations of modem China,but also the dual responsibility of modem Chinese enlightenment thinkers,which is demonstrated in Liang Qichaos thought of freedom.
