25【自由主義】-柏林的兩種自由概念 Jeremy Waldon,Liberal Rights: Much liberal thought in the twentieth century has focused on the question o whether it is possible really to enjoy civil liberties and political freedoms as they are traditionally understood,without also enjoying a fair degree of material security。For a while this debate was bogged down as an analytical dispute about the meaning of “ liberty ”。Those who believed that traditional freedoms could not adequately be enjoyed by people who lacked the basic necessities of life were taken to be propounding a “ positive ’ conception of liberty。It was assumed,according,that they ran foul of Isaiah Berlin’s structure against confusing freedom with justice,or with equality,or with the sum of all good things。Defenders of “ positive ” freedom were accused of leading us down the road not only to socialism,but to a totalitarianism of “ Newspeak ” in which the coercion of the welfare state would be disguised and redescribed as the liberation of the true self from the shackles of its own empirical nature。 Jeremy Waldron,Liberal Rights-Collectd Papers 1981-1991,(Cambridge:Cambridge University Press 1993)p.5
