definition of freedom

Freedom is understood to be one of the most intrinsic conditions of the human being, one that, however, has been restricted for many centuries to very important groups in society. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, freedom cannot be separated from the human condition since all individuals are born free and cannot and should not be subjugated in any way. Freedom is then the ability of the human subject to make all kinds of decisions regarding their lifestyle, their beliefs, their values ​​and their ways of knowing.

The term freedom is closely related to the French Revolution, a historical moment in which the bases for the political freedom of citizens were established, but also the bases for the social and civil freedom of individuals. Freedom would also be related, later, with currents of economic thought (liberalism) that sustained it as the basis of their actions and that sought to limit the interference of social organizations and institutions such as the State. Freedom today is primarily related to the notion that every individual is born free and that no aspect of their existence can be determined by another in adulthood.

Freedom is such a complex and difficult term to define in a matter of a few words, that it can be analyzed from various aspects: from the philosophical aspect and the notion of freedom as an intrinsic element of the human being; from the sociological aspect and the idea of ​​the freedom of the individual over the whole social entity; from the anthropological level and the understanding of freedom throughout the peoples; from the psychological point of view and his analysis of the personal freedom of each subject or from the political point of view and the idea of ​​political freedom on any type of abuse or censorship.
