    PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN FREEDOM IN

    TODAY’S CONTEXT

    Introduction
    Human freedom is very prominent topic in the philosophy. Its significance is
    identified many of the modern philosophers. Five of the brothers presented their Term
    Papers on different topics but based on theme human freedom. Bro Jomal Paul
    presented his paper on “Satre’s philosophy of existential freedom”. Bro Raymond
    Kisku presented his paper on “Democracy Enhance Human Freedom.” Bro Kornelius
    Marandi presented his paper on “Concept of Human person according to Teilhard
    Chardin.” Bro Anit presented his paper on the topic “Concept of Karl Marx.” Bro
    Sisira presented his paper on “Duty for Duty Sake: a Kantian Understanding of Ethics
    and Freedom.”

    1. Satre’s Philosophy of Existential Freedom-by Bro Jomal Paul


    The concept of freedom has different significance in Satre’s Existential Humanism.
    His philosophy is human centered philosophy. He says that Human beings exist first
    and develops their essence; human nature. They create themselves as they want to be.
    There is no super power. Man is fully free and responsible for himself. We are
    condemned to be free, we are thrown into this world and are living our thrownness.
    We must choose freely from every situation we are in. We have choices to choose
    from. Existence of others is evil. It becomes obstacle in our freedom.

    2. Democracy enhance Human Freedom-by Bro Raymond Kisku


    Democracy stands for life and progress. Democracy is one of the best form of the
    government because it teaches us to govern ourselves. Democracy gives freedom and
    equal rights to every person. Therefore it enhances human freedom.

    3. Concept of Karl Marx-by Anit Varghese


    The philosophy of Karl Marx seemed good but has so many drawbacks. According to
    the critics communist rule leads to totalitarianism, political repression, restrictions on
    human rights, poor economic performance, etc. It hampers personal growth. It does
    not give financial freedom. It causes the elimination of free markets.

    4. Concept of Human Person According to Teilhard Chardin- by Bro
    Kornelius
    Teilhard has emphasized on Justice in his theory of relationship between individuals
    and society. Justice is core for the realization of harmony in a shared life. Love
    become the core vital element in relationship between individual and society. Teilhard
    said that every humans aim is to reach the Omega Point i.e. God. One can reach
    omega point only when he/she has justice and love towards the earth, society, science
    and religion. He/she should be in communion with these all.

    5. Duty for Duty Sake: a Kantian Understanding of Ethics and Freedom-by


    Bro Sisira
    Kant in his philosophy is concerned about humanity. Through his idea of duty for duty
    sake he guides that how we could be effective for one another.WE all are naturally
    bound for our work. Every individual has a innate right to freedom a duty to be
    fulfilled. The Kantian understanding of duty enlightens our moral life.

    Conclusion
    The Term papers presented by brothers enlightened me about the concept of human
    freedom dealt in philosophy of different philosophers. I heard the name of Teilhard for
    the first time. The understanding which I got through these term papers is that these
    philosophers know the value of human beings in this world, thus they have tried to
    search for the meaning of life through their philosophies.
