As to the liberty component, British social and political theorist, philosopher, and historian of ideas [[Isaiah Berlin]] identifies positive and negative liberty in "Two Concepts of Liberty",<ref>Isaiah Berlin, "Two Concepts of Liberty" in ''Four Essays on Liberty'' (Oxford University Press, 1969)</ref> subscribing to a view of negative liberty, in the form of freedom from governmental interference. He further extends the concept of negative liberty in endorsing John Stuart Mills' harm principle: "the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually and collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection",<ref>John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty" in ''John Stuart Mill on Liberty and Other Essays'', ed. John Gray (Oxford University Press, 1998)</ref> which represents a classical liberal view of liberty.<ref>Young Kim, Justice as Right Actions ([[Rowman & Littlefield|Lexington Books]], 2015), p.79 ({{ISBN|978-1498516518}})</ref>
