This article concerns the philosophical concept. You may be looking for Political Freedom
Freedom is a concept that is relative to the definitions of the conceptualizer. Definitions in common include Political Freedom, and the metaphysical concept of free will. The scientific method, even that of hypothesis, has not lent itself to the pursuit of knowledge about other definitions of freedom, before the advent of the use of Magnetic Resonance Imagery and other ways of detecting brain activity.
There exists a common emotion of freedom that humans feel, that is part of the emotional reward system and thus a driving force behind efforts to maximize political freedom, and to determine whether metaphysically, humans have free will that supersedes Fate (which, as with many either-or scientific diversions such as Nature-Nurture, is best resolved and furthered as, A Bit of Both). As with many emotions, it is likely that advances in the field of Psychology will, if not give new insights, at least standardize a definition of the stimulii and responses that are commonly perceived by humans as Freedom, and its social, behavioral, and neural manifestations.
Freedom is also commonly used in the context of negatively associated phenomena, to describe their absence.
