THE MULTIDIMENSIONALITY OF FREEDOM
Within the framework of the distant round table there was a discussion of the existence of a variety dimensions of freedom and characteristics of some of its manifestations. D.V. Pivovarov draws attention to the multidimensionality of the definitions of the notion of freedom, reflecting on the multidimensionality of freedom he points to such aspects as: the combination of kind and cruel sides of it, its paradoxical nature and the person’s conviction in order to be free, the complexity and changeability of freedom, and voluntarism and fatalism as opposites in its interpretation. G.L. Tulchinskij, submitting the idea of the single nature of freedom, defines it as an epiphenomenon of culture. Identifying methodological bases of the contradictory multidimensionality of freedom A. M. Maksimov draws attention to the heuristic value of the method of antinomies and the alternative scientific method. V.M. Artemov writes about the morality, which he considers to be the basis of the integrity of the mature freedom. R.Y. Rakhmatullin asserts that it’s proper to define freedom as a criterion of progress. I. A. Belyaev notes and grounds the inconsistency of notions about positive relationship between human freedom and his internal and external harmony.
