Some critics will complain that I have collapsed two different conceptions of positive liberty here. Berlin, for instance, insists that positive liberty absolutely requires external determination of the will, and specifically determination by the state, as in Rousseau's infamous forcer d'etre libre. A central element for many positive libertarians such as Rousseau, however, is that freedom consists in following your true will, and that in turn involves a “freedom from” internal desires and passions that do not represent the true or higher self. Taylor emphasizes this same “divided self” in his account of positive liberty, focusing on internal barriers to realizing the better or higher desire rather than on the external mechanism that directs you to it, but does so in an individualist fashion; in his examples, the subject always seems to know that he or she has a higher and lower desire and is struggling to achieve the former. However, Taylor points out that even this individualist account of positive liberty implicitly incorporates aspects of Berlin's view by maintaining that a focus on inner barriers inevitably leads to “second guessing,” and I follow him here; but he stops short of acknowledging the ways in which this second guessing in turn can lead inevitably to state intervention. On the other hand, Berlin's focus on state determination leads to his forgetting about the importance of the divided self and the internal barriers to realizing the preferred or “true” will

New York: Oxford University Press, the emphasis on the individual as the unit of analysis and freedom as noninterference by governments is an understandable, although not the only possible, reaction to contemporary historical and political conditions. However, calling these conceptions natural and timeless obfuscates their origin and meaning, decontextualizes and dehistoricizes, and thereby hides their biases. In such hidden biases lie the clangers of totalizing representation and the erasure of men and women of color, White women, workers, and the poor

Furthermore, as, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, the distinction between responsibility and blame is important; while feminists may not be able to blame individual men for patriarchy because they are victimized by it—perhaps even (some? many?) White, economically privileged men—we nevertheless can hold men collectively responsible for it because they benefit from the power it gives them over women and they either tacitly or overtly refuse to resist those benefits just as many Whites (women as well as men) tacitly accept the benefits of race privilege. As some benefit more than others, some are more responsible than others

Furthermore, as Iris Young argues (Justice and the Politics of Difference [Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1990]), the distinction between responsibility and blame is important; while feminists may not be able to blame individual men for patriarchy because they are victimized by it—perhaps even (some? many?) White, economically privileged men—we nevertheless can hold men collectively responsible for it because they benefit from the power it gives them over women and they either tacitly or overtly refuse to resist those benefits just as many Whites (women as well as men) tacitly accept the benefits of race privilege.

Equality is another example of such an aporia; while the liberal discourse of equality has been critiqued for including only White propertied men, the logic of equality discourse has provided access for feminists from Mary Wollstonecraft onward, as well as people of color, to claim new powers and statuses within liberal society. See, Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press
