Isaiah Berlin made a now classic distinction between negative and positive conceptions of freedom. In this book, Yildiz Silier introduces a fresh way of looking at these conceptions and presents a new defence of the positive conception of freedom. Revealing how the internal debate between various versions of negative freedom gives rise to hybrid conceptions of freedom, Silier provides a fruitful framework to evaluate the freedoms and unfreedoms that are specific to capitalism.
