Summary/Abstract: What is unfreedom? How to achieve freedom through awareness of unfreedom? This article addresses the grounds of justice in the understanding of impossible freedom, the ideal of unfreedom. The paper also considers the features of human community that presuppose and predispose to the understanding that, in a private or public context, the individual must accept his/her unfreedom rather than rebel against imposed regulations. Freedom can and should only be thought of as impossibility, as the opposite of man’s being. Based on this social imperative, the conclusion is that the education of the adolescent can be diverse as an act or process, rich in all sorts of methods and means, and containing a variety of techniques and play patterns. However, it should lead to one common goal: the object of education is for the adolescent to become aware of its dependence on his/her peers, to accept the rules they have created, and, combining this discourse with his/her own uniqueness, to be able to offer society his/her personality just as they demand.
