Positive Freedom

Positive freedom refers to the concept of having the ability and power to pursue one's own goals and aspirations. Unlike negative freedom, which focuses on the absence of interference from others, positive freedom emphasizes the importance of enabling conditions—such as education, social support, and resources—that allow individuals to act on their desires and fulfill their potential. In this sense, positive freedom is about empowering individuals to make choices that enhance their lives, fostering environments where people can develop their capabilities and pursue meaningful opportunities.
