Moral and political theorists who espouse Egalitarianism and
Marxism tend to assume that it is extremely hard, if not
impossible, to put forward an original and plausible moral
justification of classical liberalism. Professor Spector is
concerned to build just such a justification. He reconstructs and
then criticizes a familiar approach to the moral foundations of
classical liberalism which rests on the maximization of negative
freedom, and then frames an alternative theory centered in the
obligation to protect positive freedom. In doing so he parts
company not only with utilitarianism and contractarianism, but also
with the theory of natural rights. Among the topics he discusses
are the concepts of negative and positive freedom, the notion of a
moral right, the connection between positive freedom and personal
autonomy, the axiological uniqueness of each human being, and the
agent-relativity of moral reasons.
