1. Philosophy / E. Nature of Metaphysics / 3. Metaphysical Systems

22820	Early Romantics sought a plurality of systems, in a quest for freedom [Hösle]
	Full Idea: It was an early Romantic idea that there is necessarily a plurality of systems in which individuality is expressed; for a complete system would destroy freedom.
	From: Vittorio Hösle (A Short History of German Philosophy [2013], 7)
	A reaction: I'm not clear why you are free because you are locked into system that differs from that of other people. True freedom seems to be either no system, or continually remaking one's own system. Why is such freedom valuable? Freedom v truth?
