Spiritual freedom has always been the implicit condition of leading a life, but the modern idea of freedom makes it explicit. __By the lights of a modern conception of freedom, we should not be defined once and for all by a given social role (family, profession, religion, nationality, ethnicity, gender). Rather, we should be free to transform the normative conception of ourselves and our institutions should reflect that freedom.__
