Who said 'negative liberty is superior to positive liberty' ?
Answer: B
Isaiah Berlin argued that negative liberty is superior to positive liberty. In his lecture Two Concepts of Liberty (1958) he defended freedom as the absence of interference and warned that positive liberty, the idea of self-mastery, can be used to justify coercion.
J.S. Mill is wrong because his On Liberty defends individual freedom without ranking negative over positive liberty. T.H. Green is wrong because he is a leading advocate of positive liberty. Ernest Barker is wrong because he is a liberal idealist who aligned with Green's view of the state's enabling role.
