Article: On Positive Liberty

Con­trast these three ques­tions:

  1. Is some­thing a form of free­dom?
  2. If yes to 1, is it a good or valu­able form of free­dom? (To whom and in what ways?)
  3. If yes to 2, is it a form of free­dom that per­son is owed by right, and can demand that oth­ers respect or pro­vide?

Answer­ing the first ques­tion affir­ma­tive­ly leaves the next two ques­tions open.
