The Limits of Freedom
Trojan, Radim ; Švec, Ondřej (advisor) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee)
The thesis deals with the establishiment of limits on the usage of the concept of freedom in philosophical systems. By the analysis of chosen passages of Sartre's early existentialism in which freedom is equivalent to human reality, it is the aim of this thesis to point out the issue of unreliable treatment of the concept of freedom itself. Similarly (but in more limited extent), reflection of the usage of the concept of freedom in fourth René Descartes' Meditation on First Philosophy is performed. The result is a critique of the misuse of this concept and its flexibility in order to achieve other philosophical goals. This flexibility is usually caused by the fact that freedom is entering philosophical systems in unlimited form which is not concerned with the necessity of defining freedom by some form of non-freedom and neglects the importace of other person when declaring ourselves as free. The aim of this thesis is also to draw attention to the emptying of sense of the concept of freedom, if it is used in this unlimited form.
