Who are the most important philosophers to read on the topic of absolute human freedom? So far I have Rudolf Steiner, Friedrich Schiller, and the essays of JW Goethe.

Your philosophical interests just bring your innermost feelings and desires to the surface. I didn't start reading philosophy until my 20s but I had always had something of a certain feeling about myself and the world that I never could have articulated or was even really aware existed, nevertheless with retrospect I can see very clearly that the genesis of my current self was contained in that young version of me. That nascent worldview saw life as a heroic struggle against a world that continually attempts to wear man down, while remaining positive and confident about one's existence all the while. Years later this kind of thinking eventually brought me to Spinoza and his philosophy of activity, in which a being is only a being when it is in opposition to not being.
But it was Spinoza's intellectual heirs that took his philosophy to its logical conclusion and it was in them that I found the words to describe and nourish my own particular feeling about the universe. Today I describe my philosophy as one of life, of living, of the unity of thought and beauty, of perfection and freedom. It is one's soul that breathes life into reality. Ultimately, the art that has influenced me has done so only tangentially, for I first must have possessed a certain disposition in order to seek such things out in the first place.

I almost exclusively lurk these days, primary boards lit his sci and int, problem is whenever i start talking about philosophy and history nobody knows what the fuck I'm on about. I already know anything i have to say will be incomprehensible to people who do not already have a deep knowledge of the philosophers i read who tend to be out of the mainstream. Somebody told me to go back to /x/ the other day on sci even though I'm not a spiritualist. Steiner i just like his philosophy of freedom.
