The book takes an interdisciplinary, humanistic-engineering view of the problem of the necessity of the self-realizing human being to meet the requirements imposed by technical norms and legal regulations, which, to a certain extent, set the framework for his functioning and his subjective reception of freedom. Recognizing that the need for freedom and the need for security are constitutive for the self-realizing subject, the contributors outline the various aspects of security and the constraints associated with them, as well as make proposals for bridging the existing dissonance between what is objectively necessary and what is subjective and individually justified.
“Between Freedom and Security” is an attempt at an interdisciplinary, humanistic-technical consideration of the problem of the need of the self-realizing human being to meet the requirements imposed on him by, among other things, technical norms and legal regulations, which in a certain sense form the framework for his functioning (in a sense the limitation of the individual) and his subjective reception of freedom. Recognizing that the need for freedom and the need for security are constitutive for the self-realizing subject, the contributors present the different aspects of security and the constraints associated with it, and make suggestions for bridging the existing dissonance between what is objectively necessary and what is subjectively and individually justified.
