Freedom; Ancient and Modern
Journal Title: The Journal of Human Rights - Year 2006, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Modern conceptions of freedom are developed in the new intellectual trends among religious scholars the relations between freedom and concepts such as religion, justice, truth and government being differently explained. Introducing these conceptions this article attempts to make clear the distinction between them and the ancient ones, and at the same time, to show that different views of freedom stem from more basic differences regarding: human being, the elements making his humanity, his ability to determine the face and character of his life, his capability to exercise his freedoms, his expectations from religion, the possibility of knowing truth its instruments and obstacles , the government and its relationship with the individual and above all, fundamental human rights. در گرایش‌های فکری جدید اندیشمندان دینی، برداشت‌های تازه ای از آزادی شکل می‌گیرد و نسبت آزادی با مقولاتی چون دین، عدالت، حقیقت و حکومت، به گونه‌ای متفاوت، تبیین می‌شود. این مقاله می‌کوشد ضمن معرفی این برداشت‌ها، وجوه تمایز آنها از برداشت‌های کهن را آشکار سازد و در عین حال، نشان دهد که این تفاوت آرا در باب آزادی پیامد تفاوت‌های بنیادی‌تری در خصوص آدمی و عناصر مقوّم انسانیت او، توانایی‌های او در تعیین صورت و سیرت زندگی‌اش، ظرفیت او در بهره جستن از آزادی‌هایش، انتظارات او از دین، امکان شناخت حقیقت و ابزارها و موانع آن، حکومت و مناسبات فرد با آن، و مهم‌تر از همه، حقوق بنیادین آدمی است.
