We are living in uncertain times. People are striving for freedom,
and at the same time prefer to exist in subordination. They aspire
to look "different," to be "themselves," to maintain their
"personality" and "authenticity." Freedom is such a concept that
seems unnecessary today. Everyone is free, we tend to think, and
even if sometimes it happens that a person declare him/herself not
free, we believe that it is merely an exception. People should
think more about the progress, about their common future, and not
to dispute such "irrelevant" issues. If we are not free, why then
can we express our opinion (in the majority of cases) so easily and
without any troubles? The current book turns upon the Parable of
the Grand Inquisitor, told by the Russian writer Dostoyevsky. After
so many disasters that occurred in the 20th century, it is time to
recall this legend and to ask together with the writer, "Do people
have the disposition to withdraw from their freedom in order to
gain more material goods, or pleasures, or security?" Why choose
freedom over security? Having in mind the emergence, and even the
(relative) success of totalitarian political movements and regimes,
such as National-socialism, Communism and Fascism, we must admit
that the scientific and technological progress, the variety of
democratic constitutions, and all charters of human rights that we
have now in the world, do not secure the presence of freedom.
