The Tablet Sixth in a series Reflecting back on my experience of my years of teaching philosophy, especially teaching about the mystery of the human person, I am very aware of how much my views of what it means to be a human person have changed. Lately because of what I am reading and teaching I am very aware of how much my view of freedom has changed. I was especially interested to learn what N.T. Wright would say in his chapter on freedom in his new book Broken Signposts: How Christianity Makes Sense of the World (New York: HarperOne, 2020, pp. 198, $27.99). Identifying freedom as one of seven signposts that seem to be “broken” in the contemporary world, Wright believes that in St. John’s gospel there are many wonderful insights that can help people become freer.
