LIBERTY AND DESIRES

Third Programme
on Third Programme

A conversation between
Richard Wollheim Reader in Philosophy
In the University of London and Bernard Williams
Lecturer in Philosophy tn the University of London
Is It liberty to do what one desires? Can you speak of restriction of liberty when you cannot hold anyone responsible for it? Or when you restrict liberty to raise the standard of living? Is it freedom to be free from your desires? Grant that freedom is never an absolute value, what sort of thing would justify you in describing a society as free?
