What is freedom? Why is it important?   Is it an absolute or conditional value? In what sense is freedom necessary (or not necessary)for a good life?   Your essay should clarify the meaning of freedom, distinguishing among the kinds of freedom (intrinsic, extrinsic, positive, negative, rational, emotional, capricious)while clarifying in what circumstances these forms of freedom are desirable or undesirable.

Freedom

The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

Intrinsic

Referring to something that is inherent or essential to the nature of something else, often used to describe values or properties that are an integral part of an object or concept.

Extrinsic

Not inherent or essential, coming from the outside, or external to something.

  • Distinguish between various forms of freedom (intrinsic, extrinsic, rational, emotional, etc.) and their importance in life.
