Freedom And Its Betrayal by Isaiah Berlin
Six Enemies of Human Liberty
A collection of essays exploring how the ideal of human freedom has been misappropriated by ideological and utopian movements, tracing intellectual and political developments that transformed aspirations for liberty into justification for coercion; it defends a pluralistic, limited conception of liberty (emphasizing protection from interference), warns against monistic theories that subordinate individual rights to absolute ends, and urges humility about conflicting human values to prevent the betrayal of freedom.
