Positive Liberty

Positive liberty refers to the freedom to achieve one’s true potential through the means and opportunities provided by society. Unlike negative liberty, which is the absence of interference, positive liberty emphasizes having the necessary resources, education, and support to act according to one's own goals and values. It is about creating conditions that enable individuals to self-actualize and participate fully in life, fostering empowerment and self-determination. In essence, positive liberty focuses on enabling people to be their best selves, not just removing barriers but actively providing the tools to do so.
