The structure of political argument; some of the notions on which concepts of liberty are based.

It is intended in this thesis to examine the two concepts of liberty which are referred to as the "positive" and "negative" concepts, and to consider whether it is possible to make a connection between each of these concepts and a corresponding and distinct theory of human nature. These theories of human nature are the "notions" referred to in the sub-title of the thesis. It will be realised that in a work of this nature it is impossible to survey the entire range of philosophers who have, at one time or another, been interested in or referred to liberty.
