Study Notes
Introduction
- COVID-19 pandemic affected daily life, imposing restrictions like quarantines and mask-wearing.
- These restrictions raise questions about freedom and responsibility.
Freedom vs. Determinism
- Freedom is a central concept in human existence, but there are differing viewpoints.
- Determinism suggests that past actions predetermine future behavior, thus limiting freedom.
- Freedom is not absolute but is subject to constraints, such as financial limitations or health issues, which the individual ultimately chooses to accept or reject.
The Concept of Freedom
- Human beings desire to exercise their freedom.
- The classic problem of freedom is whether there is freedom or not, or whether the concept is determined by external forces.
- Is freedom limited or absolute? This is a central question surrounding its concept.
Authenticity
- Authenticity means being honest with oneself.
- A person is authentic when they choose their actions consciously rather than being influenced by the opinions of others.
- Authentic existence means acknowledging the responsibility associated with freedom.
Freedom and Responsibility
- Sartre claims that a person is condemned to be free, meaning they are responsible for their choices and actions.
- Choosing not to choose is still a choice.
- Responsibility means accepting the consequences of one's chosen course of action, including accepting limitations.
Intersubjectivity
- Intersubjectivity refers to the concept of human beings relating to others.
- Recognizing the other is important for our understanding.
- It implies the capacity and willingness to interact and show empathy to one another.
- Philosophers like Paul Ricoeur, Martin Buber and Emmanuel Levinas have examined this concept of intersubjectivity.
The Importance of Relationships
- Humans are social beings, naturally drawn toward relationships with others.
- For Plato, society is formed for specific purposes, like fulfilling basic needs.
- Human beings are intrinsically social in nature and their relationship with others is a fundamental aspect of their lives.
The Human Person as a Social Being
- The human person is a social animal(Aristotle).
- The human person is dependent on others for their survival and development.
- Relationships within a society are crucial for fostering a sense of community and well-being.
Human Existence and Impending Death
- Death is a topic people often avoid.
- It is a natural part of life, and many experiences surrounding the event of death can add a unique context to one's understanding and journey.
- The meaning or purpose of life is a central theme in philosophy and in life itself.
