HOYOS, LUIS EDUARDO. The Meaning of Freedom. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2009, vol.58, n.141, pp.85-107. ISSN 0120-0062.

In the article it is pretended to prepare the conceptual field for the correct use of the attribution of freedom. It is defended the importance to consider the complementarity of freedom of action and freedom of the will and it is argued for a non-metaphysical conception of adscription of freedom. The adequate use of the attribution of freedom is social and normative. This means additionally that the freedom is not a presupposition of the moral responsibility and the authorship, but on the contrary the moral responsibility and the authorship are presuppositions of the attribution of freedom.

Palavras-chave : Action; agent; freedom; normativity; responsibility; alternate possibilities; will.
