The story of “modernity” is characterised by freedom. Thus the primacy of truth has been superseded by the primacy of freedom, making freedom the decisive category of the democratic subject. But in today's disenchanted world with "thinning" traditions, the free subject is forced to make its own decisions without the collective, and in this way has become an entrepreneur who has to determine hisor her own biography.

This edition of LIMINA asks which concepts of freedom theology, philosophy, law, social sciences and economics currently generate and why freedom has become a risk for many.
