Heretical freedoms

This commentary explores Whitehead and Hannah's engagement with Paul Ricœur's conception of freedom. Their account frames freedom as an emergent, embodied experience negotiated between voluntary and involuntary conditions, challenging notions of autonomy and structural determinism. Drawing on Nancy's co-existential ontology and Esposito's ideas of community and immunity, this commentary poses freedom the challenge of the we – of thinking the experience of freedom as a plural opening onto difference rather than an individual possession.
