Reseña del libro "The person and freedom (en Inglés)"
The Person and Freedom explores the different facets of human freedom, in relation to the person, being, God and society. It draws on theological, etymological, biblical and philosophical sources to show how freedom is an essential attribute of the human person, created in the image and likeness of God, and called to share in his divine life. The book analyzes the different conceptions of freedom held by modern philosophers such as Kant, Descartes, Sartre, Schopenhauer, Bergson, Allul and Camus, and compares them with the Christian vision of freedom, based on obedience, grace, faith and charity. The book also examines the issues of freedom in political life, the fear of death, and slavery. It offers a critical approach to these issues, and argues that human freedom reaches its fullness when ordered to goodness, truth and beatitude. The book concludes by inviting the reader to live according to the freedom of God's children, which is a joyful, generous and responsible freedom.
