Liberty
Since his death in 1997, Isaiah Berlinâs writings have generated continual interest among scholars and educated readers, especially in regard to his ideas about liberalism, value pluralism, and "positive" and "negative" liberty. Most books on Berlin have examined his general political theory, but this volume uses a contemporary perspective to focus specifically on his ideas about freedom and liberty.
Isaiah Berlin and the Politics of Freedom brings together an integrated collection of essays by noted and emerging political theorists that commemorate in a critical spirit the recent 50th anniversary of Isaiah Berlinâs famous lecture and essay, "Two Concepts of Liberty." The contributors use Berlinâs essay as an occasion to rethink the larger politics of freedom from a twenty-first century standpoint, bringing Berlinâs ideas into conversation with current political problems and perspectives rooted in postcolonial theory, feminist theory, democratic theory, and critical social theory. The editors begin by surveying the influence of Berlinâs essay and the range of debates about freedom that it has inspired. Contributorsâ chapters then offer various analyses such as competing ways to contextualize Berlinâs essay, how to reconsider Berlinâs ideas in light of struggles over national self-determination, European colonialism, and racism, and how to view Berlinâs controversial distinction between so-called "negative liberty" and "positive liberty."
By relating Berlinâs thinking about freedom to competing contemporary views of the politics of freedom, this book will be significant for both scholars of Berlin as well as people who are interested in larger debates about the meaning and conditions of freedom.
This edition also contains Illustrated Dictionary of Constitutional Concepts
