Items related to Conceptions of Liberty in Political Philosophy
Synopsis
At the heart of every well-developed political theory in the Western tradition is the concept of liberty or freedom. In this authoritative and comprehensive collection of essays, leading contemporary philosophers explore these conceptions from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. They examine and interpret the views of Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, Fichte, Hegel, J.S. Mill, Marx, T.H. Green, Hayek, Oakeshott, Arendt, Rawls, Habermas, and Sir Isaiah Berlin. Animating the discussion throughout is Berlin's distinction between 'negative' and 'positive' liberty.
This systematic historical appraisal is conducted by a number of eminent thinkers in the field of political philosophy. Altogether, these essays constitute an account of a key topic which students across a wide range of disciplines - including the political and social sciences, alongside philosophy itself - will find of importance.
