Study Notes
Lesson 1: Freedom of the Human Person
- Human freedom is a social concept recognizing individual dignity, defined as the absence of coercive constraints.
- Existentialists view humans as free because God grants freedom.
- Freedom, while naturally good, can sometimes be misused.
- True freedom is within the context of choice but not from the consequences.
- Three kinds of freedom exist: freedom from physical constraints (like for infants), freedom in action, and authentic freedom, aligning with divine will.
Consequences of Actions
- Consequences are the effects or results of actions.
- Obligations are duties stemming from legal or moral requirements.
- Responsibility is the duty to deal with something or having control.
- Moral obligation stems from the right thing to do.
Human Actions and Morality
- Actions, purposeful and intentional, are performed knowingly and freely.
- Conscious knowledge and will control human actions.
- Examples include telling the truth, giving to the poor, and attending school.
- Deliberate actions are considered voluntary.
Aristotle's Voluntary and Involuntary Actions
- Voluntary actions originate from the person performing the act, using knowledge of the situation.
