Moral Education and the Cultivation of Positive Citizen: Insights from Isaiah Berlin’s Conceptualization of Two Types of Freedom Year of publication: 2019 Author: Ye Fei Corporate author: 苏州大学 On the basis of a binary model of freedom, Isaiah Berlin distinguished two types of citizenship: “negative citizen” and “active citizen”. “Negative citizens” tend to place individual freedom and rights above the community, and to defend the individual freedom as the top priority, which readily leads to the division and alienation between the individual and the community. “Active citizens”, on the other hand, tend to place a greater emphasis on the close relationship between freedom and responsibility and the integration of individual and the society, advocating that individuals shall have the courage to assume public responsibility while defending their individual rights. In the ongoing social transformation, moral education shall guide the cultivation of “active citizens” and promote the development of moral responsibility and public spirit, which is valid practice with relation to individual personality improvement, school moral education reform, and social development.
