Isaiah Berlin outlined two forms of freedom:

Negative Freedom → “Freedom from” external constraints. The ability to act without interference (e.g., no government oppression, no censorship).

Positive Freedom → “Freedom to” control one’s own destiny. The ability to self-govern, develop, and shape one’s life (e.g., education, participation in democracy).

Negative freedom is about removing barriers, while positive freedom is about empowerment and self-mastery. A balanced society needs both.
