Q. 3. Explain the concept of liberty in the writings of Isaiah Berlin.

Ans. The concepts of liberty and freedom can now be analysed as follows:

Isaiah Berlin: Negative and Positive Philosophy : Two concepts of liberty was one of the seminal contributions to political philosophy. Berlin distinguishes negative and positive liberty. In this sense, different meanings of liberty are elicited as the answers to two questions. First, what is the area within which a person or a group of persons is able to do without interference from others? This liberty is negative liberty. We must remember that political liberty is the area within which a person can act unobstructed by others. Second, is about the source of control or interference that can determine someone to this rather than that. This is form of positive liberty.
