What is Hegel's freedom?

 If you cling to life, you'll lose it. If you're ready to lose life, you'll gain it. A bit christiany, wouldn't you say? :))

A capacity for freedom is a natural feature.  However, the concept of freedom changes through times. 

Human thought is responsive to actual reality. So history  can be seen as the development of ideas about freedom.

History is the progress and consciousness for freedom.

I'm free because I can act on my desires. Or better yet, I'm free because I give up on them.

It becomes a freedom of the pure self. But it becomes too abstract and you cant commit to any activity.
