Is it by being the author of my identity that freedom is possible for me? Explain the answer that Marxism or Sartre’s existentialism would give.

Freedom

CONTEXT
Today’s culture is rife with clichés and preconceptions about freedom, beginning with the idea that freedom is nothing more than the ability to “do what you want. This course has modestly attempted to go beyond this simplified view to explore the conditions and limits of freedom. But the subject remains inexhaustible and complex. Rousseau, an 18th century philosopher, had this to say about freedom: “Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains. Spinoza, a 17th century philosopher, said this about freedom: “Such is the human freedom that all men boast of having, and which consists only in those men are conscious of their desires and ignorant of the causes that determine them. But how to see it more clearly? How do key modern philosophers like Sartre and Marx understand the question? What do you think of them?

Question: Is it by being the author of my identity that freedom is possible for me?

For the THEORY paragraph, explain the answer that Marxism or Sartre’s existentialism would give.

In this light, should we discount these past lessons and why is it crucial to consider the entire policy portfolio of interventions in evaluating a human capital investment strategy rather than focusing on one type of policy in isolation from the others to inform future policy from recent experiences?

Alexander Cooley on the New Great Game in Central Asia

The accumulated wealth of policy experience failed to prevent financial crisis and recessions. The effect of these experiences on beliefs is long-lasting. This raises serious questions about the relevance of past policy lessons to the present predicament that confront us. Moreover, an important element (humanity/moral duty to our fellow people) is too often underdeveloped, invisible, not explicit or missing altogether. Nevertheless, evaluation practices still tend to focus on counting inputs and outputs, rather than telling stories. In this light, should we discount these past lessons and why is it crucial to consider the entire policy portfolio of interventions in evaluating a human capital investment strategy rather than focusing on one type of policy in isolation from the others to inform future policy from recent experiences?
