Ainu Palmu: Vapaa / Free

Projection work studies the concepts of positive and negative freedom, 2020

I constrain your freedom, (I hope I see it soon)

About the concepts of positve and negative freedom: Isaiah Berlin proposed concepts of positive and negative freedom in his essey Two Concepts of Liberty in 1958. There he stated that positive liberty is the possession of the capacity to act upon one's free will, as opposed to negative liberty, which is freedom from external restraint on one's actions. A concept of positive liberty may also include freedom from internal constraints.
