After covering this methodological assumption, the chapter discusses freedom’s development within the liberal tradition. An overview of Locke’s account of freedom is given, and it is argued that the ideological developments that had occurred by John Stuart Mill’s day were substantive enough to classify these two belief systems as distinct ideologies. From here the interview covers the competition between individualist, or libertarian, conceptions of freedom, and progressive liberal ones. It is argued that the latter played a key role in the development of welfare states, and the former in arguing against them. Freeden concludes with an argument against the possibility, or even desirability, of any permanent consensus in politics.","PeriodicalId":111427,"journal":{"name":"What is Freedom?","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114887992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Is the modern workplace a threat to freedom? Specifically, Anderson argues that the workplace is a site government: where power is exercised over us government exists. If we ask what type of government workplaces are it is clear that the vast majority are dictatorships. The interviewer brings up the main counterarguments—surely we can leave bad jobs and freely negotiate the terms of employment elsewhere—and Anderson responds. This is followed by a discussion of why this topic has been comparatively neglected by political philosophy. From the conclusions drawn, an argument is developed that political philosophy is strengthened by the field’s increasing diversity, and by philosophers considering material from a wide range of sources.","PeriodicalId":111427,"journal":{"name":"What is Freedom?","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129708766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He argues against a rights-based approach; politics should seek to maximize goods in his view, rights are simply rules for ensuring these goods. The good he has in mind is freedom as nondomination. According to this view freedom is not simply being left alone, it is being in a position where nobody has the power to so constrain your action (even if that power is not being used). The chapter ends by considering the implications of such a view. Most obviously it would require a democratic form of government in which state power is both responsive to the people but also seriously constrained. Further Pettit argues this conception of freedom would require us to constrain the power of huge corporations—these too may be sources of domination.","PeriodicalId":111427,"journal":{"name":"What is Freedom?","volume":"64 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115429048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dale Martin starts by outlining what we can say, from the perspective of a critical historian, about the life of Paul. The discussion covers his education, background, and conversion experience. The core of the chapter is about Paul’s use of the language of slavery and freedom. Martin argues that Paul is incorporating into his religious vision many common tropes developed in the Greek democracies. These tropes he would have picked up through his rhetorical education in Greek and used in his letter writing to his churches. The chapter closes by looking at Paul’s vision of freedom, which Martin argues is quite different from a modern individualist, conception of freedom as absolute nonconstraint. Freedom for Paul only exists within a closed system, constrained by the being of god.","PeriodicalId":111427,"journal":{"name":"What is Freedom?","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124511772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
