As noted in part I of this paper (published in the June 2021 issue of Pastoral Psychology), freedom is typically framed in terms of justice, equality, rights, reason, and agency. In this second part, I describe social and political freedom from the perspective of care and faith. I first discuss briefly what I mean by care and faith. Once this is accomplished, I begin with a description of the pre-political space or communicative space of the parent-child interaction. This is a necessary step in distinguishing between two related but distinct concepts, namely, social and political freedom. I contend that the parent’s social freedom is expressed in their care of the child, which includes the parent’s recognition of the infant as a person and, correspondingly, the parent’s decision to limit themself for the sake of addressing the needs of the child. Parental care or attunement fosters a communicative space of trust wherein the child obtains a sense of self-esteem, self-respect, and self-confidence and nascent agency in asserting their needs and desires—a proto-social freedom. Included here is a brief discussion of the process of bridging the proto-social freedom experienced in the pre-political, communicative space of a good-enough family to the capacity for and experiences of social-political freedom in the larger world. I conclude by addressing questions regarding the relation between the pre-political space of the family and the larger political-public spaces.

如本文第一部分所述（发表于 2021 年 6 月的《牧师心理学》)，自由通常是根据正义、平等、权利、理性和能动性来构建的。在第二部分，我从关怀和信仰的角度描述社会和政治自由。我首先简要讨论我所说的关怀和信仰是什么意思。一旦完成，我开始描述亲子互动的前政治空间或交流空间。这是区分两个相关但不同的概念，即社会和政治自由的必要步骤。我认为父母的社会自由体现在他们对孩子的照顾上，这包括父母承认婴儿是一个人，相应地，父母为了满足孩子的需要而限制自己的决定。父母的照顾或协调培养了一个信任的交流空间，在那里孩子获得了自尊、自尊和自信感，并在维护他们的需求和愿望时获得了新生的能动性——一种原始社会的自由。这里包括对将在一个足够好的家庭的前政治、交流空间中体验到的原始社会自由与在更大世界中的社会政治自由的能力和体验联系起来的过程的简要讨论。最后，我要解决有关家庭前政治空间与更大的政治-公共空间之间关系的问题。这里包括对将在一个足够好的家庭的前政治、交流空间中体验到的原始社会自由与在更大世界中的社会政治自由的能力和体验联系起来的过程的简要讨论。最后，我要解决有关家庭前政治空间与更大的政治-公共空间之间关系的问题。这里包括对将在一个足够好的家庭的前政治、交流空间中体验到的原始社会自由与在更大世界中的社会政治自由的能力和体验联系起来的过程的简要讨论。最后，我要解决有关家庭前政治空间与更大的政治-公共空间之间关系的问题。
