FREE FROM THE WORLD, FREE IN THE WORLD

The man’s freedom rises from original biological processes. But, the definition and the concrete realization of the freedom have a historic character.  It can also occur that our freedom releases itself completely from whatever determined content. This represents a dogmatic pretence. Hegel takes this risk, defining it “sentimental totality”.  On the contrary, Kant poses the question of subsistence of an unconditionalness a priori, previous and independant from the relationship with the world. Lastly, the modern condition of freedom sends us to the relationship between individual and society.
