Rights and freedoms allow us to live our lives according to our aspirations and beliefs, and to develop in a wide variety of ways. They also enable important social processes and functions.
On the other hand, freedoms are not infinite, but find their limits in the rights of others who are affected. Moreover, their guarantee is not always permanent: their scope and form can be subject to change, and they are often also subject to targeted political repression or various other threats.
But what do the many types of freedom actually mean, where do they come from and what purpose do they serve? How far do they extend and how are they to be weighed against each other? How can they be protected against various changes and in the face of threats?
In this seminar, we first examine the ethical and legal foundations of various freedoms and highlight their significance, origins, current guarantees and possible challenges. Together with experts from the field and in an excursion, we then explore the significance of freedoms for our daily lives, and discuss what freedoms mean for us in practice, how we live them and want to live them in the future, and how we can ensure their lasting preservation.
