Abstract

In the “Two Concepts of Liberty” Isaiah Berlin has argued that for each person “there ought to exist a minimum area of personal freedom which must on no account be violated” (2002 [1957], p. 171). After more than half a century from the publication of Berlin’s famous essay, discussions on how personal freedom has to be interpreted, what value it has, and how it stands in relation with political liberty, is still at the core of many debates in political theory and philosophy. This panel invites analyses of the idea of freedom and its connections with a number of concepts such as choice, autonomy, wellbeing, respect and self-respect. Berlin, I. (2002 [1957]). Two Concepts of Liberty. In I. Berlin, Liberty (pp. 166-217). Oxford: OUP.
