Personal Freedom and Open Society

There is a deep connection between personal freedom and open state of a society stemming from phenomenological consideration of the society as an alive system, as a subject. Social contract is shown here as a sign of emergence of the subjective being within the wholeness of the society. Such a subjective being is typical not only in the sphere of sociology, but also in various fields of human activity: in the spheres of art, literature and special sciences, physics and psychology. Phenomenological approach is considered as a basis of analogy between various fields of human activity. © 2007 Bull. Georg. Natl. Acad. Sci.
