Abstract
I would like to treat the concept of freedom by distinguishing its levels or grades and analysing the relations between them. It is also possible to speak of different positions about freedom and to arrange them in an order of logical succession. My argument, about these positions are an attempt to discover the phenomenology and dialectic of the concept of human freedom. A systematic analysis of the concept of freedom will lead me to an interpretation of the concept of creativity.
