ABSTRACT

Freedom has complex and diverse connotations. With factors that oppose and coexist with freedom as a reference, freedom can be divided according to four dimensions, namely, the dimension of restriction imposed by others, the dimension of restriction from individual capability and desire, the dimension of restriction from objective law and dimension of restriction from religious belief. A four-dimensional analysis of freedom is made with reference to constraints that oppose freedom. Based on politics, religion, individual utility and good inter-subject relationship, morality is divided into four systems. By analyzing the different connotations of freedom and morality and the nature of the reflected relationship, corresponding correlations and matching are made to infer and demonstrate the relationship between freedom and morality. The freedom of rational free people who get rid of constraints from traditional politics, religion and individual utility is the premise and law for the formation of free morality.
