Lesson 5: Freedom of the Human Person

5.1 Realize that “ All Action Have Consequences”

ALL ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. Everything we think and say and do has consequences for
ourselves and for others. ... And we need to remember that our actions are
irreversible. Consequences are where our thoughts and actions meet reality.

 Aristotle
The Power of Volition
The imperative quality of Judgment of practical intellect is meaningless
apart from will. Reason can legislate but only through will its legistation be
translated into action.

The will of humanity is an instrument of free choice. It is within power of every

one to be good or bad worth or worthless.This is borne our by:
 Our inner awareness of an aptitude todo right or wrong
 The common of all human beings
 The Rewards and punishment of rulers ;and
 The general employment of praise and blame

 St Thomas Aquinas
Love Is Freedom

Of all creators of god, Human beings have unique power to chage

themselves and the thing around them for the better.

 Jean Paul Sartre

Individual Freedom
Stres existentialism stems from this principles :
 The person first exist encounters himself and surges up in the world then
defines himself forward
 The person is provided with a supreme opportunity to give meaning to one’s
life.
 Freedom is therefore the very core and the door to authentic existence
 The person is what one has done and its doing
 One the other hand the human person who tries to escape obligation and strives to be
en sio is acting on bad faith.

 Thomas Hobbes
A Law of Nature
Is a precepts or general rule established by reasons by which a person is
frobedden todo that which is destructive of his life or takes away the means
of preserving the same and to omit that by which he thinks it may be best
preserved

 Jean Jacques Rousseau

The Edsa Revolution
Is an example though an imperfect one of what the theory of Social Contract
is all about
