Abstract
Freedom and Person are two complex and closely related concepts. The two authors chosen, K. Rahner and I. D. Zizioulas, freedom, understood as self-determination and not merely as free will, is presented as the central element of their concept of "person." It seems worthwhile to explore, even if only initially, the similarities and differences in their respective presentations of the concept of freedom understood as self-determination, both in their anthropology and in their Trinitarian theology.
