Features: The development of Western political philosophy over the past three decades has largely been carried out within the theoretical framework of the dichotomy between negative and positive freedom. At times, there have also been attempts to transcend the dichotomy of freedom. The selected texts are organized and compiled under the editor's understanding of the relationship between the concept of freedom, the metaphysical concept of freedom, and the concept of freedom in political philosophy. Fifteen representative documents are included, all of which are translated into Chinese for the first time. The main thread throughout the book is the editor's critical understanding of the formation path and possible prospects of a third concept of freedom.
