FREEDOM IN ACTION

The world, what is it compared to human freedom?
Savater responds that "man inhabits the world" which is different from having a determined function that makes up the world, like if we were in a magazine and man was just another product from it. It is not as if we were inside something else, or as if man was the owner of the world, because man isn't, man just inhabits it.

We are in the same place as before, just that in this moment we could assent that the world is that place in the space we live in, eat in, walk in, talk in, and especially we relate in, actually it is the most significative place in the universe where we act.

But it is not just the truth that we are symbolic which separates us from other animals, it is also our undetermination, the real truth that we are open and capable of deciding the course of our actions. The thing I want to make clear is that we can decide what to do or what to think from all the things, living and unliving, which are also part of the world. This is what makes us genuine and in my opinion that is a good argument opposite to the determinism. In my opinion we are free just by the truth that we don't have a particular habitat and we can choose from all habitats in the world, we can choose if we want to live in the world and what to think of it. I think we don't accept this truth oftenly, but it is good to question ourselves that if we can decide where to exist then why wouldn't we be capable of deciding all other subsequent things.
