Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In Western thought, both religious and secular thinkers from the early
beginnings to the Modern Age pondered over the right to freedom and
contributed to the diversity of philosophical approaches. This lecture
will trace these ideas back to their biblical origins and follow them
through early Rabbinical times, the Middle Ages, and up to the present.

I. Freedom and law
II. Divine providence and human freedom
III. Prophetism and freedom
IV. Freedom and the individual
V. Law, politics and freedom
VI. Secular democracy and fundamentalist theocracy
