If transcendental freedom is the distinguishing marker of human reality when it is exercised? Freedom being understood as charaterising certain actions, and not merely potential actions. There can only be certain moments in a life when such freedom is more than merely potential, rare moments, and in certain lives perhaps never realised. One an action is performed it can no longer be distinguished in this way, it becomes 'data', or are there certain concrete universals of freedom. Is this why actions are always embedded in stories and why stories are so important. And what if we are entering a time where stories are emptied of this capacity?
