I view liberty in terms of autonomy.
Negative freedom is the freedom to not be interfered with.
Positive freedom is the freedom gained from self-mastery, by obtaining skills and resources.
Republican freedom is the freedom gained by not being dominated by another
All of these are valuable in so much as they make an individual autonomous, in other-words, in so much as they secure one's control over one's own life.
Liberty is the full realization of one's self through a combination of negative, positive, and republican freedoms. I see all of these as complementary rather than contradictory.
