Freedom and its risks: Personal reflection
The real games do not concern a coercive practice, but to a subject of self-training of the subject. You can call an ascetic practice;not in the sense of a moral of the resignation, but the exercise of itself on itself. By which one tries to prepare, transform and access a certain way of being.
Something different from the states of domination. Power relations have an extremely large extension in human relations;This does not mean that political power is in all, but, in human relations there is a whole beam of power relations, which can be exercised among individuals.
- Liberation is sometimes the political or historical condition for a practice of freedom.
- Liberation opens a field for new power relations, which would try to control through freedom practices.
- Liberation and liberation struggle are indispensable for the practice of freedom.
- The care of itself has been, in the Greco-Roman world, the way in which individual freedom or civic freedom has reflected as ethics.
To take care of himself, from a certain moment he willingly denounced as a form of self-love. A form of selfishness or individual interest in contradiction with the interest to have towards others with the sacrifice of themselves, which is necessary.
You can’t take care of yourself without knowing. Is to learn by the teaching of a certain number of truths, of doctrines, being some fundamental principles and the other rules of behavior;It is about acting so that these principles tell each situation and somehow spontaneously how to conduct itself.
Freedom is, then, in itself politics. It also has a political model, to the extent that being free means not being a slave of himself and his appetites, a certain relationship of domination is established with him.
Do not put the care of others before the care of themselves. The risk of dominating others and exercising a tyrannical power over them, precisely comes from the fact that one does not take care of himself and that he has become a slave to his wishes. The one who takes care of himself to the point of knowing his duties. Power relationships are not a bad thing in them.
According to what makes us known in "the ethics of self-care as a practice of freedom" I agree with part of his arguments that makes us mention since to be able to lead us properly to society and before the studentsFirst we must learn about us and our environment;To be able to apply our knowledge properly for the correct learning in the classroom. Since if we want to play with the power we have as teachers we do not have to lose sight of our primary role that is teaching to students;since in this as we managed to realize the game of power that we must have to change the rules in our favor or convenience and give erratic knowledge to the students and that goes against our professional ethics. Yes, we can play with the role of power;but without obstructing the knowledge that we must give.
Ergo, we must not forget that freedom is in a very thin line that can be transgressed to let us give a free cathedral to a tyranny where students’ views are not accepted.
The individual commitment to apply health care to achieve a quality of life that contributes to comprehensive and harmonic human development implies clear conceptions about what bioethics is, such as reflection on personal daily actions to protect life, noonly the human, but that of other species of nature that make up the nutrition niche that supports . According to Foucault, the necessary action translates into “not mistreat”, in receiving generously and warmly to all those who come to our encounter.
The care of itself allows men, individuals, to carry out, on their own or with the help of others, a certain number of operations about their body, their soul, thoughts, behavior or any way of being, obtaining a transformation of themselvesIn order to achieve a certain state of happiness, purity, wisdom or immortality.
In my opinion, we must be careful first of ourselves to be able to provide care for others: people, animals, plants, things, and so. Since if we do not do we are ending our environment.
