Summary
Danilo Bast: Law and freedom
On the perspective of freedom in foreign and our legal philosophy
The freedom that we are talking about in legal philosophy, freedom as the basis of human legal existence, is not an abstract and unmarried freedom that easily and quickly turns into its opposite, into that "fury of disappearance" that destroys not only law, but life itself. On the contrary, there is freedom in the middle that limits itself and thus enables and confirms itself. Without this self-restraint, which is the act of freedom itself, no freedom can exist. Freedom always goes together with its limit. It does not mean the violation or prevention of freedom, but a necessary condition for its possibility. Law should also be looked at in that perspective. It can have no other reason and no other purpose for its existence than to be a tool of freedom understood as such.
