Liberalism is Rationalism in politics.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Liberalism is a most important by-product of Rationalism, and its origins and ideology must be clearly shown.
Liberalism is financed by the dividends from Conservatism.
Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.
Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face.
Liberalism is assisting quality of life, whatever you may choose.
Liberalism is an attitude rather than a set of dogmas - an attitude that insists upon questioning all plausible and self-evident propositions, seeking not to reject them but to find out what evidence there is to support them rather than their possible alternatives.
Liberalism can only be defined negatively. It is a mere critique, not a living idea.
If a liberal political philosophy stands for anything, and I am no longer sure it does, then it must mean that we are committed to the leveling of the playing field for everyone.
Liberalism is a religion. Its tenets cannot be proved, its capacity for waste and destruction demonstrated. But it affords a feeling of spiritual rectitude at little or no cost.
My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.
