The Understanding of the Concepts of “Free” and “Freedom” According to Faust’s Final Monologue Before Death and his Seashore Colony as Goethe’s Vision of “Totalitarianism”

Summary/Abstract: The concept of free (“frei”) appears in the Second Part of the Tragedy in Act Five, namely in Faust’s final monologue before death, in line 11580: Faust: Free earth: where a free race, in freedom, stand1 (“Auf freiem Grund mit freiem Volke stehen”) [V. 11580] (Goethe 2001: 203). In this line apart from the concept of free, what strikes our attention is: 1. People/race (“Volk”), 2. earth/ground (“Grund”) (This word in German also means ground, earth, base). Whereas the content of the notion of “freedom” and, consequently, “freedom”, which Faust himself conceives of in these notions, must be determined in the context of and in comparison with the other concepts given in this verse. At the same time, it is clear that if we want to understand exactly what Faust means by the concept of “free”, then “freedom”, which Faust promises to the people of his colony or abstract humanity in the vague and uncertain future, if we want to understand exactly what he means by it, at a first glance, whether it is a kind of political message or a political will (or, in general, the question is whether the concept of “free” has a political content here), we must define what Faust himself is the voice of this message at the moment. At the same time, it must be clarified, on the one hand, who the “people” are whom Faust promises “standing on free land”, and on the other hand, it must be clarified what kind of “people” his visionary “free people” are.
