Isaiah Berlin on Liberty (Part Two)

from Closereads: Philosophy with Mark and Wes Hosted by Evergreen Podcasts

Continuing on "Two Concepts of Liberty" (1969), we finish up the negative conception ("freedom from") and give Berlin's strange account of positive freedom ("freedom to"), which involves an identification of some part of you (e.g. for Plato, your rationality), the obeying of which makes you free, even if what you "want" goes against this. Read along with us, starting on p. 20. To get parts 3 and 4, subscribe at patreon.com/closereadsphilosophy.
