Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of views on the concept of freedom in the European philosophy of law (XIV-XVII centuries). The modern philosophical and legal concept of freedom as a category of natural law is based on the achievements and views of philosophers of different eras. This is due to the fact that freedom is one of the eternal philosophical and legal problems, because it permeates all aspects of human activity. The etymology of the concept of freedom indicates the natural metaphor of definitions of freedom and the various approaches to its interpretation. Therefore, the philosophical and legal foundations of freedom require a detailed analysis, taking into account modern global transformations. The focus of the article is the discussion of philosophers of law on the problem of the realization of human freedom. The article examines the views of leading European philosophers of law (E. Fromm, F. Petrarch, L. Valla, J. Mirandola, J. Bruno, M. Luther, B. Spinoza, T. Hobbes, J. Locke, S. Montesquieu, Rousseau ) to understand the category of "freedom". The estimation is given and the solution of the ways to implement the ideology of liberalism in modern society is proposed, based on the studied philosophical concepts of the philosophers of the law of the Renaissance and the New Age. As a result of the study of the problem of the realization of human freedom in the works of the philosophers of the Renaissance and the New Age, it is worth noting that a person is able to develop and practically apply his intellectual abilities in any creative aspect of the existing society. Economic and political conditions provoked the need for the “elite” to struggle for their privileges, power and wealth. In order to gain freedom, the individual must realize and put into practice the external determination of freedom. A person has the right to dispose of his actions, his life and rely only on his abilities and determine independently his life parities. Political freedom of a citizen is possible only under the condition of a stable government based on the principle of separation of powers in the state. As a result, the ideology of liberalism can be expressed in the fact that a person is free to the limit of the freedom of another person.
