Freedom is one of the fundamental dimensions in human life, but we still do not have a common understanding of this phenomenon. This book examines all the main aspects of freedom, from metaphysics to politics and morality. The author poses the following questions: Does freedom exist in a world where the laws of nature govern everything? What are the criteria for a person to be considered free? What kind of social structure is necessary to ensure maximum freedom for people? Should freedom have limits? What threatens freedom in the modern world? How to realize your freedom in practice? How to live a life filled with meaning? In answering these questions, Lars Svendsen resorts to classical and modern philosophy, using them to show that freedom is an integral part of our human essence.
