Citizenship And The Idea Of Freedom In The Post-modern Period. A Particular Reference To Algeria

Authors : Boudersa Hemza .

Abstract

The primary objective of this research is to focus on the realistic dimensions of all the insights and meanings of freedom. In the same respect, some countermeasures, namely constraints, necessities, and determinism encounter all meanings of freedom in a way or another. Many references, namely ZAKARIYA Ibrahim’s book Philosophical Issues: the Problem of Freedom classified freedom into two types: (1) Freedom of Planning and (2) Freedom of doing or acting. The issue of freedom revolves as well around two visions: Freedom Affirmers (defenders) and Freedom Refuters with reference to the extent to which citizenship is either liberation booster or freedom constrainer. Findings of the paper reveal initially the freedom is a continuous process to achieve, not a final product attain. Education plays/recommended to play a great role in promoting the process of emancipation in all its multidimensional prisms or perspectives.
