Liberty in the Work of Edmund Burke
Original language description
The objective of the article is to explain and substantiate why Burke's concept of liberty is not in contradiction with the philosophical background of a free society even though, according to Berlin's conceptual division, it belongs to the positive notion of liberty, which, however, is the basis of totalitarianism. Burke's concept of liberty is interpreted as the consequence of his antirationalist position and of his view of the relationship between an individual and the society. The study formulates two arguments that seek to explain why Burke's concept of liberty does not contradict the theoretical background of a free society. The first argument points out Burke's understanding of order, which is principally different from the rational order of totalitarianism, admitting a certain plurality of values and goals albeit accentuating tradition and continuity. The second argument refers to Burke's paternalism, which is principally different from the paternalism bordering on authoritarianism or even totalitarianism.
