  • Freedom is the capacity to originate actions from within, not forced or controlled.
  • Freedom is the ability to act on one's own power without compulsion.

Freedom, Limitations, and Accountability

  • Freedom has limitations; what we choose can't contradict the fact that freedom has limits.
  • Freedom implies accountability for choices and actions.

Intersubjectivity

  • Intersubjectivity is the condition of human subjects interacting with other human subjects.
  • Sharing subjective states is a key aspect of intersubjectivity.
  • Human relationships are categorized as either I-It relationships or I-Thou relationships.
  • I-It relationships are characterized by separateness and detachment, based on external characteristics, not internal connection.
  • I-Thou relationships are reciprocal and focus on encounters and relationships, emphasizing the richness and complexity of connection.

Man as a Social Being

  • Humans are capable of speech, enabling the expression of good and evil and facilitating the formation of communities.

Habermas on Discourse

  • Modern society relies on the ability of people to collectively critique and reason about existing traditions to improve.
  • Communicative reason occurs in public spheres, where individuals engage in discourse to exchange ideas and inform/change the society.

A Being Towards Death

  • Death is a personal experience, though we may not always understand it personally.
