Moralny aspekt ludzkiej wolności

Abstract

The freedom is the fundamental value in human life. It is integral part of human nature. We can see it in freedom of will; it means ability to make a choice between good and evil. Free will is given to the man, but inside freedom is something like “setting a task”. The man is really free, when he chooses good. The determinant of objective good is truth and moral law. The highest Good is the same God. He created man; He gave man free will and in effect called him to His freedom. Therefore, when the man makes this, what God wants him to make, in the same time man becomes “like God” (Gen 3, 5). We can say, that man takes part in His (God’s) freedom. However, we have to be realists and we have to know that the man is only the man; he lives on the earth and he can’t be perfect, because his nature has been touched by the sin. What he can do is always confirm the choice of the Highest Good.
