Isaiah Berlin made a now classic distinction between negative and
positive conceptions of freedom. In this book Yildiz Silier
introduces a fresh way of looking at these conceptions and presents
a new defence of the positive conception of freedom. Revealing how
the internal debate between various versions of negative freedom
give rise to hybrid conceptions of freedom which in turn are
superseded by various versions of the positive conception of
freedom, Silier concludes that Marx's concrete historical account
of positive freedom resolves many of the key debates in this area
and provides a fruitful framework to evaluate the freedoms and
unfreedoms that are specific to capitalism. This book examines the
thought of the paradigm thinkers in this debate, F.A. Hayek on
negative freedom and T.H. Green on positive freedom and then ranges
over the contributions to this debate made by both classical
thinkers such as Kant, Hegel, and Marx, and those involved in
contemporary debates on communitarianism, capitalism and
self-determination, such as C. Taylor, D. Miller, F. Oppenheim and
C.B. Macpherson.
