FREEDOM
OF THE

HUMAN
ALL ACTIONS
HAVE
CONSEQUENCES.
ARISTOTLE
The will of humanity is an instrument of free choice.
It is within the power of everyone to be good or bad,
worthy or worthless. This is borne out by:

• our inner awareness of an aptitude to do right or


wrong;
• the common testimony of all human beings;
• the rewards and punishment of rulers; and
• the general employment of praise and blame.
Moral acts, which are
always particular acts,
are in our power and
we are responsible for
them.
ARISTOTLE
Human beings are rational. Reason is
a divine characteristic. Humans have
the spark of the divine. If there were
no intellect, there would be no will..
REASON can legislate, but only
through WILL can its legislation be
turned into ACTION.
LOVE IS FREEDOM.
ST. THOMAS AQUINAS

Of all creatures of God, human beings have


the unique power to change themselves and
the things around them for the better.
As for St. Thomas Aquinas, human beings are
moral agent.
Human beings, therefore, has a supernatural,
transcendental destiny.
ST. THOMAS AQUINAS

FOURFOLD CLASSIFICATION OF LAW


1. ETERNAL LAW – decree of God that governs all
creation
2. NATURAL LAW – applies only to human beings
3. HUMAN LAW – certain rule and measure of acts
whereby man is induced to act or restrained from
acting
4. DIVINE LAW – understood as deriving from a
transcendent source, such as the will of God or gods
ST. THOMAS AQUINAS

LOVE rather than LAW


to bring about the
transformation of
humanity.
ST. THOMAS AQUINAS

CONSCIENCE

GOD’S LOVE
JEAN PAUL SARTRE

Human person is the desire to be God:


the desire to exist as a being which
has its sufficient ground in itself.
There are no guideposts along the
road of life. The human person builds
the road to the destiny of his/her
choosing; he/she is the creator.
JEAN PAUL SARTRE

• The person, first, exists, encounters himself


and surges up in the world then defines
himself afterward. The person is nothing else
but that what makes of himself.
• The person is provided with a supreme
opportunity to give meaning to one’s life, in
the course of giving meaning to one’s life,
one fills the world of meaning.
JEAN PAUL SARTRE

• Freedom is, therefore, the very core and the door


to authentic existence. Authentic existence is
realized only in deeds that are committed alone,
in absolute freedom and responsibility and which,
therefore, the character of true creation.
• The person is what one has done and is doing.
• On the other hand, the human person who tries to
escape obligations and strives to be en-soi is
acting on a bad faith.
JEAN PAUL SARTRE

To be human, to be
conscious, is to be free to
imagine, free to choose, and
be responsible for one’s life.
THOMAS HOBBES

The fundamental law of nature


seeks peace and follows it,
while at the same time, by the
sum of natural light, we should
defend ourselves by all means
that we can.
JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU

Human beings are born free and good.


Now, he is in chains and has become bad
due to the evil influence of society,
civilization, learning, and progress. Hence,
from these come dissension, conflict,
fraud, and deceit. Therefore, a human
being lost his original goodness, his
primitive tranquility of spirit.
