Schneider in the article \u201eNature as the Well-Spring of Freedom\u201d shows, based upon Catholic theology, especially the encyclicals of Paul VI Humanae Vitae and John Paul II Veritatis Splendor, that freedom is a tool to achieve perfection for a Christian, although it never leads to full perfection. God is the only one who is, while we are condemned to becoming. Having God\u2019s perfection before our eyes, we can choose whether or not to \u201econdemn ourselves\u201d to getting better and better. If there is any aspect of negative freedom here, it is only in the context of breaking the person free from his own limitations. There is a real difference between a person and human nature, but it is not the opposition. A person means the highest human subjectivity and the human \u201eme\u201d in terms of one\u2019s own being and action. On the other hand, nature means specific forms of immersion of a person into matter, biology and history. At the same time, the human nature, humanity, has such properties that allow a specific person to be a person. In and through the person, the human nature is integrated into one single suppositum \u201ehuman being\u201d. The human person is therefore a special compositum humanum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Nature, freedom, human, theology, humanity, John Paul II, Paul VI, compositum humanum <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Streszczenie <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David C.
