Phew d...Just clocked that Alastair Campbell thread. Phew deletions central, and a funny post from Peter Bracken: either it's a joke that's passed me by, or he's tied in to new labour in some fashion: that would kinda explain something that's puzzled me about his spat with Henry Porter. Peter keeps citing Berlin, and appears to be a strong advocate of positive Liberty which is/was something Tony Blair was also keen on. <i> However</i> and this is an almighty however, Berlin himself knew and warned of the dangers with positive liberty (expanded upon very well by Rawls).The trouble is that positive liberty entails a consensus (without scope for much dissent) as to a higher/greater/collective purpose or end. It thus lends itself to totalitarianism, theocracy etc, in short all those societies where the individual is subjugated to an overarching ideological (often dogmatic and inflexible) framework. Yes, social contract theories hint at notions of this but rousseauean 'chains' are not to be celebrated, nor denigrated, but seen simply as necessary when humans rub up against each other (ooh-er). The danger with pressing for positive liberty,is that it leads to people being forced to do things for an externally decided 'nobler' end i.e. being made to do something for your own good, where the big question arises who determines your 'own good'? Down that path lies accusations of false consciousness, and re-education if taken to extremes, where the party and the plan are the sole 'good'. Far better is a mix of positive (because individuals are not always rational actors, nor informed enough to and negative liberties (thus preserving a space for the individual,an area for personal autonomy and crucially a way of challenging if need be whatever the prevalent positive liberty 'good' is deemed to be at that point in time).If positive liberty is underpinned by the desire to achieve a greater good,negative liberty is the safeguard for when that conception of a greater good is twisted or malign. Positive liberty entails the citizen trusting the state/society, but can entail the state not trusting the citizen. Negative liberty can mean the individual not trusting others, but able to avoid them if that mistrust is justified.Push too hard for one or other type of liberty and you risk very damaging consequences, societally or individually.Alisdair Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687226158428057049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-12690455678665963952010-02-24T20:28:40.009+00:002010-02-24T20:28:40.009+00:00Philippa - awww, can't we make it political?
