Limitations of our freedom are all around us, even though they aren’t always obvious.
In this world we live within frameworks we often didn’t choose for. We have to comply to laws we might not agree with, we need to pay our bills, live up to social expectations and compulsory education forces us to go to school.
We are not always aware of these limitations, but are obliged to always act within these behavioral frameworks. We can therefore, label these frameworks as the: ‘Invisible limitations of the autonomous individual’.
Now, that does sound a bit heavy right? In a way it is, in another it isn’t. I think the most important of all is the fact we become aware of the limitations of our freedom, and we get the right knowledge and tools to expand it when necessary.
The goal of this e-book
In this e-book I’d like to explore the limits of our freedom. Where does it stop? Why does it stop there? And what can we do to cross that line anyway?
We will take a look at what philosophers and scientists have to say about human nature and freedom. We will learn from them, and get a deeper understanding of the frameworks of our freedom.
