自由--限权还是权限 Freedom--Restriction or Permission

自由--限制政府权力还是限制自我权利？ 帕特里克·亨利曾说:不自由毋宁死！ 罗兰夫人却说:自由！ 自由！ 有多少罪恶假汝之名而行。这就体现了两个互相对应的自由观（ Liberty / Freedom） --限制政府的权力与限制自我的权利。一个认为， 人类可以自我支配， 凭借自身意志而行动， 并对自身的行为负责。这是由宪法保障的一种权利或自由权， 能够确保人民免于遭受某一专制政权的奴役、监禁或控制。一个认为， 人活着的时候， 摆脱不了自我的禁锢， 就是自己给自己的捆绑。自我、罪性， 即魔鬼的居所， 构成人的自我。有禁锢就无自由。自由本来是对禁锢、囚禁、捆绑而言的--所以人靠自己不可能自由。这是自律意义下的自由。Freedom与 Liberty， 代表了两种自由--Freedom代表了积极的、侵略性的、日耳曼蛮族的现代观念;Liberty--代表了消极的、防卫性的、希腊罗马古典文明的古代观念。Content SummaryLiberty-limitation of government power or limitation of self-rights?Patrick Henry once said Give me liberty or give me death!But Mrs. Roland said: Freedom! Freedom! How many crimes have been committed in your name.This embodies two corresponding views of freedom (Liberty / Freedom) - limiting the power of the government and limiting the right of the self.One holds that human beings are self-governing act on their own volition and are responsible for their actions. This is a right or liberty guaranteed by the Constitution to protect people from being enslaved imprisoned or controlled by an authoritarian regime.One believes that when a person is alive he cannot get rid of the confinement of the self which is the bondage he has given himself. The ego the sinful nature which is the dwelling place of the devil constitute the ego of man. Where there is imprisonment there is no freedom. Freedom is originally about imprisonment imprisonment and bondage-so man cannot be free by himself. This is freedom in the sense of self-discipline.Freedom and Liberty represent two kinds of freedom - Freedom represents a positive aggressive modern concept of the Germanic barbarians; Liberty - represents a negative defensive ancient concept of Greek and Roman classical civilization.
