When is it correct to say that a person's freedom is restricted?
Can poverty constrain freedom? Can you constrain your own freedom,
for instance through weakness of the will or self-deception, and
are you not truly free unless you act on a rational choice?
Kristjan Kristjansson offers a critical analysis of the main
components of a theory of negative liberty: the nature of obstacles
and constraints, the weight of obstacles and the relation of
freedom to power and autonomy. Through this discussion, which
examines much of the contemporary work on political freedom, he
develops his own theory of negative liberty, the so-called
'responsibility view', which meets many of the goals of advocates
of positive liberty while retaining its distinctive 'negative'
nature. He also argues for, and implements, a method of
naturalistic revision as a way of solving conceptual disputes in
social philosophy.
