Document Summary

But some would argue that there are some problems left to solve: you cant solve all the problems of political philos as if it is a science. To what degree and what ends: coercion big issue; flip side of freedom, freedom is area within which people should be left to do without interference of others. This is only negative concept of freedom as it relies on absence of interference. This is not the same thing as coercion. If freedom is the area where i am not interfered with, that means to preserve my freedom, we need to get into boundary drawing exercise and identify sphere where i cannot be interfered with. You are as free as you can be, no unfreedom. Need certain situtations for freedoms: boots are superior to russian poetry; if you haven"t got boots you are unsatisfied with poetry in substitute.
