Abstract

Hegel, Kierkegaard, Thomas Aquinas and the Christian revelation are the inspiration for this paper. Here we show how human freedom can only be ensured when there is an act of supreme Love in its Origin and when its Destiny is the full participation of that love from which it originates. Human freedom is “something serious” when, through temporal choices, man places his eternal destiny at risk.
