In this paper we will examine the difference between liberal and republican concepts of freedom. The proponents of republican view think that the third concept of freedom should be introduced in addition to negative and positive concepts of freedom. This third concept implies freedom as nondomination. Just as the liberal theorists think that there is a priority of negative over positive freedom, the republican theorists argue that there is a priority of nondomination over negative freedom. Since, the republican theorists defend the introduction of freedom as nondomination not only on normative, but also on conceptual grounds, our primary aim in this paper will be to investigate whether this notion has some analytical advantages over the concept of negative freedom.
