Freedom and Morality

Kant believed that freedom and morality are inherently linked, as true freedom requires acting according to moral law we give ourselves through reason. For Kant, to act freely is to act autonomously by following duties defined by categorical imperatives rather than hypothetical imperatives or external influences. He argued that virtue requires true freedom to follow moral law willingly rather than being forced to act in certain ways.

To act freely is to act autonomously. To act autonomously
is to act according to the law I give myself.

For Kant, acting freely and acting morally are one and the
same thing.

KANT'S NOTION ON MORAL LAW

THE ROLE OF FREEDOM IN MORALITY


There is no virtue in being temperate when you are being
forced not to indulge.
There is no virtue in being charitable when someone is forcing
you to give up what is yours.

A virtuous man must also be a freeman.

FREEDOM: THE FOUNDATION OF MORAL ACT

Freedom is the power rooted in reason and will, to act or not to act, to do this
or that and so to perform deliberate actions on one's own responsibility.

Every action you choose further determines our character.

Our freedom has limits.
Requirement of True Freedom
True freedom requires responsibility.
Human Acts vs. Acts of Humans
