Abstract

The disputes of all kinds of the contemporary libertarian views in the West focus on the difference between the view of the negative liberty and the view of the positive liberty, and the difference between them lies in three aspects: liberty and morality, liberty and capacity,liberty and market. The two views of liberty have both success and failure. The physical view held by the negative libertarian is objective and neutral in the moral, but it is indifferent to the individual value, the basic interests and the need, which just results in the vagrant's life ; the view of the positive liberty pays attention to the distribution of rights, wealth and opportunity, but it is the strong normative way of the interpretation that appeals to the human nature and the value's view, and then difficult to make liberalism the objective science. Finally, this paper considers the actual foundation and the social resource of the dispute between the two views of liberty.
