freedom

Freedom is understood as either having the ability to act or change without constraint. Or to possess the power and resources to fulfill one’s purposes unhindered. It associates with liberty and autonomy in the sense of “giving oneself their own laws”. And with having rights and the civil liberties. And which to exercise them without undue interference by the state.

In one definition, something is “free” if it can change easily. And not to constrained in its present state. In philosophy and religion, it is sometimes associate with free will, without undue or unjust constraints on that will, such as enslavement. It is an idea closely with the concept of negative liberty.

Charles Taylor resolves one of the issues that separate “positive” and “negative” theories of it, as these were initially distinguish in Isaiah Berlin’s seminal essay, “Two concepts of liberty”. Taylor sees it as undeniable that there are two such families of conceptions of political. Negative liberty is a concept. That can often use in political philosophy. It is the idea that this means an ability to do what one wants, without external obstacles. This concept call too simplistic for discounting the importance of individual self-realization. Positive liberty is the ability to fulfill one’s purposes.^[1]^[2]

In some occasions, particularly when discussion is limited to political freedoms, the terms “freedom” and “liberty” tend used interchangeably.^[3]^[4] Elsewhere, subtle distinctions between freedom and liberty noted.^[5] John Stuart Mill differentiated liberty from freedom in that freedom is primarily, if not exclusively, the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do, whereas liberty concerns the absence of arbitrary restraints and takes into account the rights of all involve. As such, the exercise of liberty is subject to capability and limit by the rights of others.^[6]^{[failed verification]}
