Abstract: Together with the idea of God and Immortality, Freedom was one of the three fundamental topics of classical metaphysics and it still remains a philosophical and theological issue of maximum diversity. There are various approaches regarding freedom that defend the precedence of sociology over philosophy in the sense that it exists at the social level, not at the ideatic one; these approaches insist upon a sociology of freedom that questions its culturalizing approaches, being secluded from the so-called history of ideas and denying the absolute freedom and the Kantian transcendence of individual freedom. Freedom is contextual: it is more an action than a state, an action conditioned by evolutional factual elements (from manumission – the act of freeing slaves – to the only exertion of freedom provided by the free market).
