Abstract The “third class” initially placed the “freedom of literature and art” in the logic of opposition between writers and left-wing critics. Zhou Yang and Hu Feng later linked the class and authenticity of literature and art， proposed the proposition of “theme enthusiasm”， and dismantled the theorical foundation of “freedom of literature and art” with the theory of artistic authenticity. The “third class” updated their own view. They opposed the restrictions on subject matter and believed that only “freedom of literature and art” could guarantee the authenticity of art. Zhou Yang and Hu Feng appropriated the Marxist discourse on freedom and necessity to the field of literature and art， deepening the philosophical understanding of “freedom of literature and art”， but the specific discussions were not consistent， and the understanding of “essence” was not the same， which was one of the important reasons for the contradictions and typical contentions in the process of their debate. Due to the limitations of the times and theories，both sides have not been able to effectively respond to some doubts， but the theoretical dialogue on “freedom of literature and art” has brought beneficial enlightenment to the construction of Marxist theory of literature and art.
