  Freedom    
   

by Marco Antonio Terragni

   
   

 

   
   

       The definitions of freedom are made by proximate gender and specific difference but there are concepts with impossible definition. One of these is freedom because freedom is a negative concept. It is impossible to explain what freedom is but it is possible to use one negative idea: In what case there is not freedom.

In one general understanding freedom does not exists when one person cannot do all that he wants, but there are different classes of freedom. To explain that I hope the following tales are useful for:

John lives alone in a small and desert island. He can do all that he wants: fishing or not fishing, walking or not walking, swimming or not.

John has natural freedom. His limit is only what the Nature does not allow.

Paul lives in a small village. He can listen to music by radio but not at high volume for not to disturbing the neighborhood.

Paul has social freedom.

Marcus lives in a town. He can open one bazaar, but needs official permission.

Marcus has political freedom.

My wife, an intelligent woman, said: Nature, Society and State can put restrictions to men. The latest freedom is in the mind. Any person can penetrate and thus dominate the human mind: fortunately!
