摘　　要：格林认为自由不是原子式个体的占有物,而是社会主体自我实现和增进社会共同善的能力。自由只有在社会中,通过社会和个人的相互作用才能实现。社会可以且有义务增进个人自由和社会共同善,而个人有权也有责任参与社会体制的建设。但个人价值依然是自由的最终价值标准。在协调个人和社会的关系中,格林把自由和民主结合起来,变早期的消极自由观为积极自由观,既推进了自由主义的演进,又有助于我们重新思考消极自由和积极自由的关系。Thomas Hill Green insists that freedom is not a possession of an atomic individual, but a social agent＇s power to contribute towards self-realization and social common goodness, it can only be fulfilled through mutual influences between society and individual. On the one hand, society should and is able to promote individual freedom and social common goodness. On the other hand, individual should and is able to take part in the construction of social institutions. The individual value is still the ultimate value criterion of freedom. In his coordination of the relationship between social and individual, Green combines freedom with democracy and transforms the theory of negative freedom years before into positive, thus advancing the development of liberalism, which is helpful for us to reconsider the relationship between negative freedom and positive freedom.
