Freedom of the human person

 the condition or right of being able or allowed to do, say, think, etc. whatever you want to,
without being controlled or limited
 Freedom is the power of a sentient being to exercise its will.
 Desiring a particular outcome, people bend their thoughts and their efforts toward realizing it –
toward a goal.

AUTONOMY
 ancient Greek word autos, meaning ‘self’, and nomos, meaning ‘rule’
 one’s ability to choose in accordance with one’s own motivation.
 To be autonomous is to have the freedom to act in accordance with one’s own values, beliefs,
and principles.
 we can say that we ordinarily equate freedom with our autonomy. We feel free when we face
situations that call to our decisions because it is at these moments that it becomes clear to us
that external factors are subordinate to our will.

TWO BASIC TYPES OF FREEDOM

“Freedom from,” - a freedom from the constraints of society.
Negative freedom is freedom from interference.

“Freedom to,” - a freedom to do what we want to do.

Positive freedom is the freedom to control and direct one’s own life. Positive freedom allows a
man to consciously make his own choices, create his own purpose, and shape his own life; he acts
instead of being acted upon.

Autonomy is the ability to act on your own (free will)

liberty the power to do as one pleases

freedom the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do

autonomy refers to the presence of a capacity for effective authentic living, and negative
freedom refers to a lack of constraints on action.
