Current Research
The Neo-Republican Conception of Political Freedom
Abstract:
This research project intends to evaluate the conception of political freedom proposed by the two main exponents of neo-republicanism: Quentin Skinner and Philip Pettit. This conception has been presented by both as coming from the republican tradition and as an alternative to the dichotomy between negative and positive freedom, dominant in the contemporary political debate. Our intention is to discuss whether this conception corresponds to the meaning that republicanism has historically attributed to the concept of freedom and whether it really differentiates itself from negative freedom and positive freedom. The hypothesis is that it moves away from the modern republicanism’s matrix, losing its link with a relevant part of the republican tradition. In doing so, it ceases to be an alternative and becomes a mode of negative freedom, coming too close to the liberal conception.
