BOUNDARIES OF FREEDOM
BOUNDARIES OF FREEDOM

Summary/Abstract: Freedom, existentially relinquished more than generically assigned, belongs to those who struggle for it and remains unknown to those who enjoy it as a gift, unreachable for those who seek for it out of their objective possibilities. Its search, beyond these possibilities, has the form of human mistakes which belong to those who do not understand its nature. Like the time as "the space for human development,” freedom must be searched in the relation a man - the world, that is, among the activities of people who create the new situations and relationships, by changing the existing ones. The perception of its substance could be analogous to the perception of health, and both have in common that we esteem them only if we have lost them or if we have fought for them. That is why their benefits could be perceived only by discovering the possibilities, which realization implies the time of performance as the form of freedom existence. In fact, since the fulfilment of human needs and interests is not always correlative to the realization of possibilities, so the understanding and realization of these possibilities belong to the content of freedom which becomes the proof of its performance. In the mutual reliance of possibilities and freedom, dialectic of the world and a man, should be recognized, and the human practice should be understood as the criteria for the veracity of thinking and sense or senselessness of the performance.
