| Summary: | Freedom is one of the most controversial topics in the history of philosophy. It seems clear that freedom can mean different things to different people - from hard determinists who challenge its existence, to existentialists and process philosophers, who strongly defend it. Interestingly, all people seem to be free to use their own definitions of freedom as they desire. For instance, freedom can mean independence, autonomy, creativity, non-attachment, the ability to choose or negate, the ability to speak or do, and even the ability to survive. In this paper, I would like to briefly discuss religious freedom in two senses: religious freedom as a right and as a state of mind. I would also like to show in what way these two are connected. |
