Chapter 4: Human Freedom in the Context of Prudence and Temperance

I. Freedom is not...

1. Freedom is not the right to say or do anything but the right to do good.

2. Freedom is not merely freedom from. It is also the freedom for. Authentic freedom
involves freedom from everything that opposes our true self-becoming
(pagpapakatao).

3. Freedom does not refer so much to the rights of private, individual human beings, as it
does to the foundation of a living communion of love.

4. Freedom is not doing what we just want to do. It is doing only what is good.
