Study Notes

Lesson 1: Freedom of a Human Person

  • Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.
  • Freedom is expressed through the ability to pursue dreams and express oneself.
  • Freedom is the power or right to act or speak without hindrance.
  • A free person can do anything as long as they don't break the law or infringe on others' freedom.
  • Freedom is about equality and allowing expression.
  • Restrictions don't automatically mean a lack of freedom.
  • Laws allow for equal opportunities and freedom.
  • Robbing a store, for example, is not an exercise of freedom, but a violation. Examples show that freedom is not simply the absence of constraints; it's about respecting others' rights and opportunities.

Types of Freedom

  • Physical freedom: The ability to do any physical activity.
  • Psychological freedom: Freedom to decide what is right or wrong and act accordingly. Deciding what is right or wrong, and acting on that, is part of psychological freedom.

Lesson 2: Intersubjectivity

  • No man is an island; interactions are unavoidable.

  • Intersubjectivity means acknowledging each other as individuals.

  • Interactions can be with objects or people.

  • Understanding comes from mutual acknowledgment.

  • Unique relationships are possible when individuals are connected through intimacy and respect.

  • Intersubjectivity is about understanding another person as a whole, not just a tool.

  • Inner life, or interiority, refers to creating a personality and self-expression for others.

  • Giving and receiving in relationships creates a shared understanding.

  • Sharing emotions and knowledge demonstrates mutual trust.

Lesson 3: The Human Person in Society

  • Tribal society: Groups of people living under a leader or chief, with values and traditions.
  • Tribal societies often function based on established beliefs and traditions. Societies are made up of a particular set of interactions that shape the nature of a person within that society.
  • Tribal societies are small-scale due to resource limitations and traditional laws, which can make cultural change difficult.
  • Feudal society: Societies with a structured authority.
  • Land and protection is exchanged for service.
  • Industrial society: Focus is on advanced technology and manufacturing.
  • Post-industrial society: Focus is on intelligence, knowledge and services, not just manufacturing
  • Digital society: Interactions and communication depend heavily on digital devices and the internet.
  • Digital society interactions raise responsibilities.

Lesson 4: The Reality of our Human Condition

  • Human beings are all oriented towards death.
  • Human experience involves the cycle of birth, growth, and death.
  • Death is a part of life.
  • Death is used as a frame of reference against which to gauge the true value and meaning of life itself.
  • "Ends of life": Death is not the goal, but rather the fulfillment of our own existence.
  • Happiness: A state encompassing many dimensions, not just emotions and decisions.
  • Different types of happiness exist: noble, useful, and pleasurable (based on the source).
