This more than cursory analysis of the concept of “freedom” is an attempt not only to capture the actual ways of reading and interpretation, but also to justify the need to disclose its content in words understandable to a contemporary. Freedom as a purely human event, closely connected with spiritual and moral consciousness, prescribes self-sufficiency and the absence of coercion in actions and thoughts to the individual. The realization of the principle of self-restraint through free will reveals the God-natural essence of man. The article cannot claim to be complete in fixing the aspects of relevance and depth of analysis of the stated directions. What is important is that rethinking the philosophical meaning of freedom is a requirement of the day. Old truths require rediscovery. In other words, the previous ways of assigning this, of course, basic value to society in modern reality are in an inoperative state. Consequently, new ways of analyzing and substantiating the content of the concept, new language formulations are required, since the understanding of the sacred meaning of freedom is secretly hidden by the eternal value of a person.

Keywords: Freedom of will and choice, freedom and consciousness, self-restraint, sovereignty of thought, responsibility, godlikeness, sin, righteousness, the Law of Moses, grace.

The concern of teachers, schoolchildren and parents about the current state of education is regularly sanctified both in the media and in the fundamental analytical works of specialists. The need for new ways and methods of organizing education rests on the one hand on official standards that are completely illegitimate in the eyes of the public, and, secondly, in the absence of alternative viable projects based on the continuity of educational constructs, taking into account the traditional cultural characteristics of the Russian people, which are so rich in domestic pedagogy and psychology.

Key words: intentional change of personality, information and knowledge, methodology of thinking, the era of uncertainty, ethical value system, stratification of society, the design of ideological goals.
