This study analyzes Brazilian Contractual Law and the underpinnings of freedom – a characteristic of contracts. Furthermore, this paper fully utilizes the literature review method, focusing on the theoretical-scientific construction and the philosophical model of freedom in Brazilian Contractual Law. Likewise, to understand comprehensively this theme, this research paper employs the modern paradigm of legal transactions over the classical one. Nonetheless, this study explores both paradigms, linking them to the liberal and republican notions of liberty. Finally, this paper notes that the foundation of Brazilian Contractual Law is the classical paradigm – previously mentioned as the liberal perception of freedom. However, with the modern paradigm overtaking the old, the Brazilian Constitution gives rise to the protection of individual, social, and collective rights, which are incremented into the Brazilian Civil Code; therefore, this paper demonstrates that simultaneously there are these two notions with different views and ideals.Downloads
