What is this moral freedom business?
Part 2 Agency through identification
Moral philosophers – Ci Jiwei, Joseph Chan, and many others, probably beginning with Kant – define several kinds of freedom - personal freedom, economic freedom, political freedom and moral freedom. For my purposes here – and as Ci and Chan do as well – I merge personal and economic freedom, and political and moral freedom. That seems to me a reasonable change that does no harm to the discussion.
Every society necessarily allows for some personal freedom – traveling to work, some form of leisure, some choices about buying personal items.
Not so for moral freedom.
