Zusammenfassung:"In the Western tradition, freedom and the human person have been at the center of philosophical, theological, moral, and political debates from the beginning. Although contemporary discourse betrays the multiplicity of these roots, the necessary historical perspective for evaluating them is almost always lacking, even in scholarly studies. The terms "freedom" and "person" carry such overwhelming force in the modern world that the critical distance required for grasping what is at stake in using them is extremely hard to gain." "The present collection seeks to contribute toward finding that distance by making the tradition a living reality and not merely an object of arid analysis. Unlike most collections the present one transcends disciplinary boundaries, as it acknowledges the interconnectedness of philosophical, theological, and political arguments on these themes."--Jacket.
