Kant: The Pursuit of Fundamental Freedom

The pursuit of life, freedom, and happiness is an indication that everyone should enjoy basic freedom. The fact that people have reasoning abilities requires autonomy. Inference will help the world move towards an ideal society. We claim that humans are independent from other animal species using reason. Because he can choose his own way of life, human thought creates all the differences. However, this natural gift brings negative factors that everyone must face.

For philosophers like Spinoza and Emmanuel Kant, "freedom of speech" means freedom of knowledge to participate mainly in exchange discussions opened. In 1784, five years before the French Revolution, Kant argued that "freedom to openly use their reasons" is a basic and equal right of everyone or citizen. Likewise, when Mill wrote "freedom" less than a century ago, he defended freedom of speech, defended the "Freedom of Thought and Discussion" as an individual and pursued the truth. To these thinkers, the freedom of equal isigoria is still essential, but their attention is not limited to actual remarks, ie participation in solving and discussing other physical actions, reasonable psychological exercises and ideas and arguments We will move on to the exchange of. , Often printing

There are two kinds freely. Freedom (negative freedom) and freedom (positive freedom). The division of freedom into this binary framework can be traced back to Kant, which he at least described in detail in his 1941 work "Escape from Freedom" at Isaiah Berlin's 1958 paper "Two Freedoms". It is known for concepts and explores Charles Taylor more modernly. These philosophers and thinkers often use these two different freedoms to discuss and discuss the role of government in civic life. But today, we would like to explore ways to think about the difference between freedom and freedom. It will help us to better understand our personal development and travel from boys to men.

Kant has many reasons to believe that freedom is essential to morality. First of all, freedom is essential for moral responsibility. For example, when we are responsible for personal behavior against accusations, we avoid "such behavior" and "condemn" to condemn the individual against not properly exercising this ability To do. "We must judge that judgment of condemnation is based on the law of reason, that it can treat it as ... and should judge that the behavior of the person is not the cause" (A 555 / B 583). Second, Kant believes that "moral law immediately determines the will" is essential for moral behavior (Proverbs 5:71). As Hume said, if the will of a man must be required by her situation and experience, the moral law requires that Hume respond appropriately because it requires that Hume does not support pure thought and motivation It is impossible. This is the true cornerstone of Kant's moral thought (Guyer 2000: 203)
