Freedom is a term used in more than one context; each of us lives in such contexts, acts in them and meditates on them; we wish for better results in each of them: these depend on the way in which we understand and exercise our freedom and, having a deeper meaning, these depend on the fact that freedom may be or may not be possible in those contexts. The subject is difficult and theoretical, nut just practical; each of the previous words has more than one interpretations.
