Summary/Abstract: The idea of freedom has been the centre of attention of many philosophers and writers for a very long time as the concept of freedom is a debatable notion, which can be interpreted distinctively in accordance with the culture, values and religion of different people. The 19th century is characterized by important cultural phenomena, which redrew the boundaries of literature. During this period of time the concept of freedom achieved new forms. Novelists F.M. Dostoevsky and Max Stirner expressed their thoughts on freedom in writings such as Notes from Underground and The Ego and Its Own. Our article concentrates on the analysis of the idea of freedom, comparing two different concepts, namely spirituality and pragmatism.
