    This document discusses different philosophical views on human freedom and its origins. It presents Jean-Paul Sartre's view of absolute freedom in existentialism, where individuals have complete freedom to choose but are also condemned by their choices. In contrast, it discusses the view of freedom coming from "Imago Dei," the idea that human freedom originates from being created in God's image. Humans have relatively free will within given situations to choose good or evil and will be accountable for their actions.

    Freedom of the

    Human Person
    Freedom

    2
    Are you really free?
    Sartrean Absolute
    Freedom
    Existentialism
    Jean-Paul Sarte
    was a French philosopher,
    playwright, novelist, political
    activist, biographer, and literary
    critic. He was one of the key
    figures in the philosophy
    of existentialism.
    Existentialism

    6
    “Existence precedes essence.”

    7
    We are condemned to be free.

    8
    Hell is other people.

    9
    Sartre’s absolute freedom
    can be best explained from
    his atheistic view.

    10
    Sartre’s absolute freedom
    consists of these two realities
    – that we can do anything
    (good or evil), and at the
    same time, we choose to live
    our own way of life.
    11
    Absolute freedom=
    Spontaneous choices

    12
    Origin of Freedom
    Imago Dei
    Imago Dei
    (the image of God)
    - refers to the unique imprint God placed
    upon humanity, identifying people as a
    special creation.
    Humans are rational, moral and responsible.
    14
    “So God created mankind in his own
    image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.”

    15
    Freedom originates from God as
    a gift to mankind.

    16
    Essentialism

    17
    “Essence precedes existence.”

    18
    1. The very essence of man’s
    freedom is to do what is good
    and avoid what is evil.

    19
    2. Free will is given to us to
    incline ourselves to the
    Supreme Being

    20
    IMAGO DEI does not
    guarantee us a perfection of
    life.

    21
    All actions
    have
    consequences!
    22
    Why couldn’t God create a SINLESS
    world?

    23
    Imago Dei
    Our freedom comes from the
    Supreme and Highest Being.
    24
    Sartrean
    Imago Dei Absolute
    Freedom

    25
    Situated Freedom
    Freedom is relatively true
    only with a given situation.

    27
    Freedom is interwoven with
    the field of existences.

    You see a runaway trolley moving toward
    five tied-up (or otherwise incapacitated)
    people lying on the tracks. You are
    standing next to a lever that controls a
    switch. If you pull the lever, the trolley will
    be redirected onto a side track, and the
    five people on the main track will be
    saved. However, there is a single person
    lying on the side track.
    You have two options:

    A. Do nothing and allow the trolley to kill the


    five people on the main track.
    B. Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the
    29
    side track where it will kill one person .
