- The product of 12 years work, this book is a landmark in the study of positive and negative liberty, a key area of debate in political theory. It offers a creative reconstruction of the political philosophy of three prominent liberals - Benjamin Constant, T.H. Green and Isiah Berlin - and carries their scholarship into contemporary scholarship. Not only does it make a substantial contribution to contemporary political theory through its systematic analysis of its central themes, it also presents original accounts of classic texts by Constant and Berlin and, arguably, the most thorough treatment of Green's theory of freedom available.
