This book examines the underlying theoretical issues concerning the
nature of political freedom. Arguing that most previous discussions
of such freedom have been too narrowly focused, it explores both
conservativism from Edmund Burke to its present resurgence, the
radical tradition of Karl Marx, as well as the orthodox liberal
model of freedom of John Locke, John Stuart Mill and Isaiah Berlin.
Political Freedom argues that these three accounts of political
freedom - conservative, liberal and radical - all have internal
weaknesses which render them unsatisfactory.
In the second part of the book George Brenkert develops an
alternative theory of political freedom. Using the guiding concept
of empowerment, his model explores individual rights, democratic
participation in government and workplace, and the need to provide
the material and educational resources to allow individuals to
effectively exercise their rights to self-determination. It is a
clear and bold attack on the view that there is no link between
freedom and power.
