ISIAIAH BERLIN: HIS CRITICISM OF THE CONCEPT OF POSITIVE FREEDOM AND ITS RESCUE FROM FROM THE SPINOZA-DELEUZE DUET

Abstract

This article aims to rescue the concept of positive freedom taken from the famous essay by Isaiah Berlin Two Concepts of Liberty. In this text, the author states the existence of two types of freedom: the negative and the positive. The first would be moreperfect in terms of its expresses the natural individual desire of non-interference in our affairs. The last one would result in the extreme consequence of the arrival of totalitarian tyranny of the collective. Opposite to this thesis we respond by claiming that freedom is expressed in better way from the conceptofpositive freedom: the collective or the multiplicity is the personal form of constitution of individuality. In this sense, neither the individual nor the total State has a room for positive freedom understood from the contributions by Baruch Spinoza and Gilles Deleuze.
