Limits

Can Freedom be unlimited? What do we mean when we say that everything is permitted?
Can limits be confined to the laws? What are the common denominators between religion
and positive law? What are the repercussions of an absence of ethics? How effective are
the remedial solutions of psychologies that reject limits? The collected papers pose those
problems, and state that while everything may be permitted, not everything is useful,
because a wholesome making of the social fabric requires a number of limits. Rather than
a restriction of freedoms, these constitute an ethics that organises and keeps individuals
within the collective will. For this reason, human science specialists, particularly
psychologists, stress the importance of guiding morals in including individuals and binding
them to age-old regulations, derived either from religion, such as the primeval law of God,
or from positive law. Such expressions as respect, obedience and compliance do not
necessarily imply restrictions of freedom. Through this book the Tunisian Beit El Hikma
Academy thus provided a scientific reference for those interested in the areas of freedoms,
curative methods, and the archaeology of knowledge of the psychologies of individuals and
peoples.
