Studies investigating compliance-gaining procedures have shown that the feeling that someone is free to comply or not with a request is a requirement to obtain compliance. In this study, participants were asked for money for a charitable organization. In the experimental condition, people first heard a sentence saying that they would probably refuse to help, and then they were asked to make a donation. In the control condition, participants were just asked for money. Findings showed that more participants complied with the request in the experimental condition. Reactance theory was used to explain these results.

I would like to discuss—on the basis of a phenomenological argumentation—the different meanings of our everyday claim that we are free in our actions and decisions. First, I reject deterministic theories in the naturalistic approach by using Husserl’s ar-gument that the subsumtion of human decisions under the causal paradigm is simply an unjustified extension of a methodical idealization in the framework of naturalization. Then I argue for Husserl’s understanding that humans are generally subjects under a manifold of effective influences but they are nevertheless free. In the end some as-pects of our freedom are delineated.

There are motives of freedom, known to man’s heart and mind - a threefold look at freedom in Józef Tischner’s “Rekolekcje Paryskie”

In its analysis of human freedom, Józef Tischner’s philosophy poses fundamental questions about the essence of freedom, but also about the sense of preservation of freedom in one’s life. Freedom appears as a primary phenomenon, something that is part and parcel of human nature. Freedom as a structural element of human existence manifests itself perhaps most clearly in the sphere of human relations, which, immersed as they are in the eternal drama of good and evil, are played out in the space between salvation and damnation. The binary character of values, best seen in our use of freedom, keeps us for ever mindful of that unavoidable drama a man has to face, owing to his freedom, need not be helpless.Using such categories as election, space and health of the soul in his Rekolekcje Paryskie, Tischner approaches the definition of freedom through a succession of essential modifications which articulate some fundamental points concerning relations between people and man’s relations with God from an anthropological, axiological, ethical, social and theological perspective. Tischner proposes no definitive interpretation of freedom but, viewing the controversy over freedom as one of the most difficult problems in the philosophy of man, he tries to show what man’s inner freedom consists in and what achievements it makes man capable of.

This article critically analyses European jurisprudence to ascertain the extent to which the right to freedom of religion has been interpreted as a right of religion to internal autonomy. It asserts that women are being denied an effective right to freedom of religion insofar as they are unable to directly influence the content or structure of their religion. It argues that to fulfil women's equal right to freedom of religion, women's power and position within religion must be equivalent to men's. It therefore asserts that an intrinsic part of States' obligation to secure the right to freedom of religion is the facilitation of gender equality within religion. The article culminates by proposing proportionate and appropriate methods to facilitate gender equality within religion.

For Bobkowski, to maintain personal freedom based on material independence achieved through his own work was a fundamental existential issue. Freedom and financial independence were: a declaration, a life’s motto and an economic programme. The writer’s concept was, eventually, reduced to a change of his status as a political exile to the situation of an economic migrant who also supported Poland’s freedom.

The topic of freedom in Descartes’ philosophy is usually being connected with human freedom. It is understood in the traditional perspective of distinguishing right from wrong and truth from false. This aspect is, in my opinion, sufficiently explained. The same applies to Descartes’ ethics, connections of which with Antiquity were often mentioned. In the paper I bring up quite different issue. It rests on the question what it means that God creates the truth and what consequences it has for human validity (and necessity) of recognizing and receiving it, what is its status and, finally, how it reconfigures the relation between God and the man.

‘Being with oneself in the other’ is a well-known formula that Hegel uses to characterize the basic relation of subjective freedom. This phrase points to the fact that subjects can only come to themselves if they remain capable of going beyond themselves. This motif also plays a significant role in Hegel’s philosophy of art. The article further develops this motif by exploring the extent to which this polarity of selfhood and otherhood is also characteristic of states of aesthetic freedom. It does not offer an exegesis of Hegel’s writings, but attempts to remain as close as possible to the spirit of Hegel’s philosophy – with some help from Kant and Adorno. The argument begins with some key terms on the general state of subjective freedom in order to distinguish it from the particular role of aesthetic freedom and then, finally, drawing again on Hegel, works out the sense in which aesthetic freedom represents an important variant of freedom.

The article examines the role and the nature of freedom in two normative concepts of democracy, in the work of Hans Kelsen and of Emanuel Rádl. Both authors wrote their work on democracy between the two world wars. Kelsen formulated his concept of democracy in On the Substance and Value of Democracy (1920), a book which has clearly been influenced by the political thinking of Kant and Rousseau. Kelsen shares Rousseau's idea of general will and on this basis the principle of majority. Rádl outlines his theory of freedom and democracy in The War between the Czechs and the Germans (1928), Nationality as a Scientific Problem (1929) and On German Revolution (1933). Rádl distinguishes between three types of freedom and democracy: natural, majority and contractual. Rádl asserts that only in the third type of freedom, in which freedom is connected with responsibility and the law is freedom true. He considers the first type of freedom to be anarchical freedom, which can easily be misused. The second type of freedom is better than the first, but worse than the third. The author compares these concepts of freedom and democracy then and today and shows how they are linked to the questions of justice and solidarity at national and cosmopolitan levels.

In Economics, the Impossible Trinity of free capital movement, an independent monetary policy and a stable foreign exchange rate is well known. There is a similar, though less explored trilemma in modern governance operating with more basic concepts: that of security, freedom and privacy. The aim of the study is to clarify this latter trilemma, as well as to offer a theoretical long-term solution. After expounding the general nature of trilemmas and the three main concepts, the impossible trinity of security, freedom and privacy is examined by taking three extreme scenarios. The scenarios are based on partially hypothetical situations in developed countries, where encryption debates or terrorist attacks took place recently. The study then turns to the solution of the situation. In order to understand the origin of the problem, it takes a step back to the dilemma of security and freedom. The fourth important concept the study operates with is transparency. The study suggests increasing transparency. A mathematical projection of the scenarios is introduced, and the suggested solution is derived in an equation as well.

On the basis of the Polish law and court rulings, the author tries to establish in an individual aspect a normative content of individual freedom of conscience and religion (its scope). In her discussion she refers primarily to the rulings of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights, which complement the normatively defined sphere of liberty in question.

This article deals with three representatives of Reformation theology and their teachings on sin and guilt. Sin is a theological category that expresses the relationship of man coram Deo. Luther’s teaching speaks of sin as a change in one’s status toward radical rejection of trust in God. Guilt is forgiven in the process of salvation, but as it is expressed in Luther’s teaching about simul iustus et peccator, one’s entire life remains to be repentant. In Schleiermacher’s thought, sin is a change in self‑consciousness, and guilt is not greatly emphasised. Kierkegaard presents sin as a change of subject in the individual. Guilt is part of present existence and should be constantly present in genuine repentance. These approaches have in common the avoidance of the moralization of sin.

Many people raise the question: Was the Last Supper of Jesus and the Apostles the Jewish Passover? The answer to this question is not that simple, though. This article attempts to identify the features of Jewish Passover based on characterictics of the Last Supper found in the Synoptic Gospels. However, the most important aspect for the author is to present the novelty of Eucharist in the light of rites and theology of the holy day of Pesach. This Novelty, when interpreting the descriptions of the Last Supper in the light of the Jewish Pass-over, provides us with a new theological dimension of the Eucharist, which was taken into account during the Second Vatican Council as well as liturgical re-forms. Christ died and was raised from the dead to the immortal glory so as to deliver us from the power of sin. Our Saviour crossed the borders of death and went on to the new life. In theology this passing is referred to as Pe-sach/Passover, the Mystery of Pascha, or the Paschal Mystery, since the He-brew word pesach means a passage. The ‘passage’ of Christ to the to Father’s glory was announced by the Israeli leaving the Egyptian land of slavery, sol-emnly declared at the time of Jewish celebration of Pascha/Passover. Christ’s death and His Resurrection took place right at the time of this religious feast. The introductory part of this article presents the most important elements of Jewish Pesach contained in descriptions of the Last Supper. Then we make insight into Jesus Christ and His redempting activity in the light of the Jewish Passover. And finally, the last part of this article introduces the new and pas-chal dimension of the Eucharist.

Catechesis is intrinsically geared towards the salvific process which goes on between God and man. This process has the structure of an interpersonal dialogue. The task of catechesis is to help young people to engage in a dialogue with God. In the structure of catechesis, pride of place goes to personal contact. It consists in the sharing of the experience of faith and human values which takes place as part of a common search for the will of God. Catechetical dialogue should be characterized by a pursuit of truth; clarity of expression; respect for the other person; transcending one’s thought patterns in order to find new possibilities for understanding and constructive cooperation through a shared quest; and the ability to remain silent and open up to the other person to understand their viewpoint from the inside.

The aim of this article is to focus on some specific perspectives of Ockham´s ethics theory. His interpretation of Aristotle´s virtue ethics was different from his contemporaries. Ockham (with D. Scotus) shifted the traditional standpoint of the various Aristotelian schools from a focus on reason and reasonable purposes toward the will and its internal/external acts. The will is faculty, in accordance with reason, which brings out an internal act and only this act can be free. Nothing else, apart from the will and its acts, can be necessarily free and thus virtuous. Nothing except for interior acts of the will can be fully virtuous. The perfect virtue is the only internal capacity of the will, although always dependent on the "telos" – the end of the will. Ockham presents 5 degrees of virtues and especially the heroic one, being the highest of all virtues.

The paper presents a new understanding of freedom. It refers to the concept of ideology and the interpellation of Louis Althusser. In this new perspective freedom is a phenomenon from the sphere of social communication, and, more broadly, a process of socialization, in which plays the role of a subtle medium of interiorization of ideolog-ical philosophical universalisms. This specific role of freedom and especially its preva-lence in the contemporary world has its fundamental anchored in the common within the framework of capitalism society private ownership of the workforce.

At the end of the Life of Moses Gregory of Nyssa presents his hero under the biblical title "God’s friend" (Ex 33:11 LXX). The Hellenistic idea about friendship between a human and God is delicately linked with the argumentation that human perfection consists in the renewal of God’s image in a human. (1) The friendship of Moses and God is connected with Gregory’s central exposition on epectasis: both themes are derived from the exegesis of one biblical episode (Ex 33:12–23) and are also connected with the explanation that the motivation is love. (2) Friendship with God formed part of the original image of God in humans. So when Moses renewed God’s image in him, he automatically became God’s friend. (3) Friendship is characterized by reciprocity. In the relationship between Moses and God Gregory sees it in the process of cognition. Moses/a human gets to know God and in the end he/she is known by God. What is meant here is probably the reciprocal relationship between two processes in a human: getting to know the true God and changing into a true human being (renewal of God’s image).

Stemming from a reading of Hegel’s account of the struggle for recognition in the Phenomenology of Spirit, Kojève argued that death is the central notion of Hegel’s philosophy. I will discuss several themes in relation to this claim of Kojève’s interpretation of Hegel, namely the themes of freedom, individuality, and historicity. I will also discuss Kojève’s reading that Hegel rejects both all conceptions of the afterlife, and too the belief in the afterlife as a manifestation of the “unhappy consciousness”. I will point out flaws of Kojève’s interpretation throughout.

It is a fact that media plays an important role in post-war reconstruction enhancing the dialogue on issues related to dealing with the past and democratic institutional building. Media continues to be challenged by financial and market dynamics, political influences, and the quest for increasing market share. Over the last two decades, Kosovo has witnessed an increasing role of the media in processes of conflict transformation and institution-building. Yet the media is grounded in the dominant national frames and political ideologies. This paper discusses the dynamics of media development and the role it has played in overcoming the conflict in post-war and post-independence Kosovo. The role of media in conflicts became all important in social research, especially in the „new wars” in Rwanda, Congo and the former Yugoslavia, in the 1990s. In addition to locally generated financial means, media development has been shaped by international donors support that frames freedom of media as one of the major pillars of democracy. Research on the role of media in conflict transformation in Kosovo is still lacking. This paper seeks to address this gap offering an analysis of the role that media has played in conflict transformation and the co-creation of shared social imaginaries as a precondition for a cohesive society in Kosovo.

Ordinary theology is one of the emerging streams in theology. In this approach, the accounts of God and creation by those believers who have not undergone formal academic theological training are researched. The article describes the conception of freedom in ordinary theology of the elderly who have participated in research on the constructions of spirituality and old age. A strong element of negative freedom from prescriptions and regulations is present in the ordinary theology of these seniors. This does not lead, however, to unreflected, unguided action, but to the possibility of adherence to the Ten Commandments as a guide for empathically relating to others. Sins are then related to forgiveness. Against the pole of freedom, then, is pro‑guidance, which is in the nature of predestination, the meaning of which is subject to reflection or interpretation. The findings can be interpreted both in the context of the need to develop spirituality, which Halík speaks of in his conception of the afternoon of Christianity, but also in the context of theodicy.
