"Being free" is said in many ways: Some philosophical tools to think about what we talk about when we talk about freedom
During this talk some of the most important meanings acquired by the concept of human freedom are analyzed. It will attempt to show that, even though there are diverse ways to conceive freedom, this does not mean that they are all equally valid. Especially, a reflection will be proposed with regard to the intimate connections that exist between the possibility of being free and our constitution as rational beings.
