59 / 90

59. Read the passages given below and answer the questions No. 93-100

To coerce a man is to deprive him of freedom - freedom from what? [...] I do not propose to discuss either the history or the more than two hundred senses of the word. I propose to examine no more than two of these senses.... The first of these political senses of freedom or liberty (l shall use both words to mean the same), which (following much precedent) I shall call the 'negative' sense, is involved in the answer to the question 'What is the area within which a subject - a person or a group of Persons - is or should be left to do or be what he is able to do or be, without interference by other persons?' The second, which I shall call the positive sense, is involved in the answer to the question 'Wha! or who, is the source of conhol or interference, that can determine someone to do, or be, one thing rather than another? The two questions are clearly different, even though the answers to them may overlap.

I am normally said to be free to the degree to which no human being interferes with my activity. Political liberty in this sense is simply the area within which a man act unobstructed by others. If I am prevented by other persons from doing what I could otherwise do, I am to that degree unfree; and if this area is contracted by other men beyond a certain minimum, I can be described as being enslaved or...coerced.

Coercion is not, however, a term that covers every form of inability. If I say that I am unable to jump more than 10 feet in the air...it would be eccentric to say that I am to that degree enslaved or coerced. Coercion implies deliberate interference of other Hernan beings within the area in which I could otherwise act. You lack political liberty only if you are prevented from attaining u goal by other human beings. Mere incapacity to attain a goal is not lack of political freedom. This is brought out by such modern expressions as ‘economic freedom' and its counterpart, 'economic slavery'. It is argued, very plausibly, that if a man is too poor to afford something on which there is no legal ban...he is as little free to have it as he would be if it were forbidden harm by law. If my poverty were a kind of disease, which prevented me from buying bread...as lameness prevents me from running, this inability would not naturally be described as a lack of freedom, least of all political freedom. It is only because I believe that my inability to get a given thing is due to the fact that other human beings have made arrangements whereby, I am, whereas others are no prevented from having enough money with which to pay for it, that I think of myself a victim of coercion or slavery. In other words, this use of the term depends ‘on a particular social and economic theory about the cause of my poverty or weakness, [...] The criterion of oppression is the part that I believe to be played by other human beings, directly or indirectly, with or without the intention of doing so, in frustrating my wishes. By being free in this sense, I mean not being interfered with by interference the wider my freedom'
