Activity 2: Content Notes

Now read the notes that follow.

On Freedom

Freedom may be defined in three ways:

First, it is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or
restraint as when we say that we have the freedom to speak.

Second, it is the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved as when one say, “Finally,
after three years of my imprisonment, I had tasted freedom again.”

Thirdly, it is the unrestricted use of something as when we say, “We had more or less
complete freedom of using our laptop whenever and wherever we wanted.”

Jean-Paul Sartre in Freedom

According to Jean-Paul Sartre, freedom is to be seen in relation to man’s defining


himself. This means that freedom is no other than man’s power to be what he wants to be
such as being a lawyer, a politician, an engineer, or a teacher. Being so, man is responsible
as to what happens to himself. There are no excuses. He cannot blame others as to what
happens to him. He can only blame his own self.

Moreover, Sartre said that man is condemned to freedom which implies that man
cannot escape freedom. Man is forever free. He has to make a choice all the time. He cannot
even choose not to choose for not choosing is choosing just the same.

However, this freedom of man should not be seen as something which is chaotic and
anarchic. Freedom for Sartre is a freedom of synthesis which entails that when man makes
a choice, he is not only making a choice for himself but for all mankind.

Immanuel Kant of Freedom

According to Immanuel Kant, freedom is to be seen in relation to the autonomy of the


will. The will is a kind of causality belonging to living beings in so far as they are rational. This
entails that freedom is caused by reason. Conversely, the absence of rationality entails the
absence of freedom. Without reason, freedom does not exist. Being so, the exercise of
freedom must always be a product of one’s reason. In terms of action, one’s choice of action
is a result of one’s reason. Thus, before doing anything, one must think and answer the
question: “Will I will that my will will be willed by others?” or “Will I will that what I want will be
wanted by others?”
