The Republican Concept of Liberty in the Context of Locke's Second Treatise of Government
Original language description
This article examines the republican concept of liberty and compares the classic liberal vision of liberty expressed, above all, in Locke's Second Treatise of Government with the republican approach. The most infl uential republican theorists of liberty,Q. Skinner and P. Pettit, remain close to the negative concept of liberty. Nevertheless, they try to formulate specifi c conditions that can justify negative liberty better than Berlin's concept. According to Skinner and Pettit, liberty is not merely the enjoyment of a sphere of non-interference but the enjoyment of certain conditions in which such non-interference is guaranteed. Even though the republican concept of liberty is exceptionally inspiring, it can be subjected to criticism. One question, for instance, is whether their strategy is not too similar to the position of classic liberalism, in particular to the position of John Locke.
