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 liberty, although there have also been various attempts to transcend this dichotomy. Guided by the editors' understanding of the relationship between the concept of freedom, the metaphysical concept of freedom, and the concept of freedom in political philosophy, fifteen representative texts have been organized and selected. All the articles are translated into Chinese for the first time, and the main thread running through the entire book is the editors' critical understanding of the formation path and possible prospects of a third concept of freedom.
