*FREE will & determinism, *GOOD & evil, *WILL, PHILOSOPHY of liberty
Abstract
This paper deals with the relation that Leibniz establishes between the concepts of freewill and freedom. From the analysis of this relationship we will try to argue that human beings are free to model their will in a way that is always inclined to good; i.e.; tending to goodness and being responsible for all their choices and actions.

Abstract
The author holds the thesis that a Philosophy of Education presupposes a previous theory of the person and of society. The paper tests if a philosophical theory of education is a coherent notion. The theories of primitive man and primitive social contract are introduced. Later, Rousseau's social contract is analyzed regarding the power of the people and individual liberty, and whether it is consistent with his ideas of equality, law and education.
