Transformation of the limits of freedom: from philosophical to socio-political knowledge

The article analyzes the change in the understanding of the essence and boundaries of freedom, due to the specifics of the consideration of freedom in philosophical and socio-political knowledge. In the philosophical ontological-transcendental approach, Freedom is presented as a kind of ontological reality, transcendent to other types of being, it turns into the Absolute. According to S. Kierkegaard, freedom arises from fear of nothingness and manifests itself in God-proportionate acts of creation by man of a fundamentally new area of being. N. Berdyaev defines freedom as the baseless basis of being, as the primary power to create. In the procedural-transcendental approach, Freedom appears as a special state of human essence, which is achieved in acts of transcendence. I. Kant, G. Fichte understand freedom as a special state of the transcendental subject. K. Jaspers, J.-P. Sartre, A. Camus freedom is an act and the result of entering into existence. Freedom in the sphere of public relations is concretized in the concept of "social freedom", in political science the concept of "regulated freedom" is formed. As a result, the narrowing of the boundaries of freedom is clearly observed: Freedom as the Absolute - social freedom as a mental attitude and a socially programmed opportunity to choose options for action - regulated freedom, a pattern of behavior non-violently adopted by a person.
