Liberty and Security :An Interactive Model   Asghar Eftekhari*   (Received: 2014/April/7 – Accept: 2014/Octobr/27)   Abstract   Virtues have the main rule in managing Social and Political Life;  hence, the following question is important: If there be an opposition between different Virtues, which one should – or could – be  preferred? In this paper, author tries to analyze the relationship between Liberty and Security, and suggest two models in this regard. This two models  developed by Islamic- Iranian discourse  can be labeled Negative and positive.  Security is the main virtue in Negative Model but Liberty is the major one, in the Positive Model. Therefore, author has designed a complex model which is biased on two different principles: Power (in negative model) and Satisfaction (in positive model). * Associate Professor  of Political Science at Imam Sadiq University.
