"Two Concepts of Liberty" is an influential essay by the British philosopher Isaiah Berlin, published in 1958. In this work, Berlin distinguishes between two different interpretations of liberty, which he calls "positive liberty" and "negative liberty." 1. **Negative Liberty**: This concept refers to freedom from interference. It is the idea that individuals are free to do as they wish as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others.
