N. Maisuradze. The Phenomena of Freedom and Ways of its Realization. - Tbilisi: Metsniereba - 1997 - 272 p. - Bibl. 102 - in Russian.
The monograph consists of an introduction, three chapters and a conclusion.
The introduction examines the urgency of the subject of the research, its methodological and theoretical principles, as well as the scientific novelty of the work.
In the first chapter - "Category of freedom: history, up-to-dateness and problems" - the author, proceeding from the many-sided essence of the mentioned problem, considers it on the basis of fundamental works, dedicated to this problem.
Researching the phenomenon of freedom, the author offers the elaborated by her methodology, consisting of free integral approach. The urgency of establishment of the aforesaid methodology by the author was caused by certain discrepancy in definition of Hegel: "The God is a measure", since "measure", according to Hegel, is a completed being, definition of absolute, totality of quantity and quality under domination of quantity. As distinct from Hegel, the author considers that this is the simplified conception of the God, since the measure is the synthesis, limited in quantity and quality and the God is free. Just through the free and harmonic unity of quality and quantity providing for inexhaustible variety of modifying the God becomes non-realizable, thus giving the author an opportunity to determine that "The God is freely modifying synthesis and not a measure".
Proceeding from the aforesaid, the author asserts that the comprehensive analysis of category of freedom requires free integral method.
In the second chapter - "Humane goals under conditions of establishment of freedom and personal-humane society"- the author researches the problem of self-knowledge and self-determination of a person under the transitional stage, when new social-economic and political and spiritual values are developed.
The author asserts that the human acts are governed not only by mind, but by will, subconsciousness and potential abilities of a human being. Out of these abilities the determinative is, according to the author, the innate aspiration towards the preservation of the life that is revealed from the beginning of the life and always accompanies the life, determining the conscious, sub-conscious, pragmatic and other actions of a person.
The author thinks that all problems of the life are directly connected with the upbringing and education of a man and is sure that the integral education provides with the possibility to freely and widely think. All historic values, creation and effective functioning of mew synthetic kinds and genres of the art, closely related specialities, the urgency of which is proceeded from the life itself vivid demonstrate it.
The author points out the paradoxicality that the moral, legal, religious and other prohibitions, under the humane government serve to the creation of conditions of free existence and actions of an individual and the society as a whole.
In the sphere of policy the analysis of category "freedom" has led the author to the elaboration of conception "Personality-Human Society" the humane and strong persons of which will be able to create truly free system capable to uphold social and national interests ennobled up to the level of interests common to all mankind.
In the third chapter - "Freedom and ways of its realization" - the author considers the category of "freedom" in the perceptible-estimation activity of a person, the best expression of which is esthetics and sphere of its comprehension - the art.
The author considers the category of "freedom" in the sphere of art, since there is no freedom without creative activity and there is no creative activity without freedom, and the creative activity in its best form is expressed in the art. The advantages of the art, expressed in influence upon the human psychology, are interpreted by the author as a powerful instrument for expansion of boarders of a person's freedom.
Laying down the methods of achievement and realization of freedom, the author represents a human being as a totality of divine and human aspects, trying to fill him with the belief in his own possibilities in order to create all conditions for the progress, for creation of just state, true freedom, vast humanism, strong individuals and mighty society.
