Abstract
The paper deals with freedom as man’s particular perfection. We start from the metaphysical constitution of a person in order to clearly show why man is a free being. It concerns man as a substantial unity of form and matter, and reason and will, the two powers inherent exclusively to man. We bring certain philosophical reflections on human freedom and a critical judgement of current social phenomena such as gender ideology and abortion, as clear examples of unacceptable understanding of human freedom. Because of many problems related to the contemporary understanding of man, we want to draw attention to the inalienable value of the person, as well as to the highest act in which
freedom is manifested. It is a person’s capacity for self-realization in authentic love.
