Freedom is one of the most profound of human beings: Resume, in a way, previous features, because it decides this, guides and underlies the future, and above all is the self. Be determined, in effect, would not be yourself, it would be a simple reflection of the world, a meeting point and a resultant of natural forces. Individuality is given, the person affirms and freedom. What, then, is the free action? First of all is an absolute beginning, an irrational act, therefore, in the sense that it can not be predicted or explained by reason, the whole logic of the world is powerless to deduce the decisions of one man. It is also a choice, which means that in the presence of an alternative is chosen one of the exclusion of the other members. Perhaps it is possible to overcome the contradictions and overcome everything by the Hegelian dialectic at the level of pure speculation, but certainly in the plane of existence that's yes or no. Finally, and this allows us to penetrate in the depths of freedom: the act of choosing something, whatever it is, basically you choose one yourself. Freedom, then, is chosen: for a party consent to be what it is, be yourself, and secondly in trying to become what is not. But the two aspects overlap, actually coincide, since the being of man is becoming. Freedom appears as a tension of being to itself.
