Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Liberalism - Development of liberal thought

Liberalism - Origins of liberal thought. The focus on "liberty" as an essential right of people within the polity has been repeatedly asserted throughout history. Mentioned above are the conflicts between the plebeians and patricians in ancient Rome and the struggles of Italian city states against the Papal States. The republics of Florence and Venice had forms of elections, the rule of law, and pursuit of free enterprise through much of the 1400s until domination by outside powers in the 16th century. The Dutch ...

Liberation: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Liberation

Liberation In theosophy, freedom from conditioned existence; in its strictest sense the state of a monad which has become the Brahman of its hierarchy, and therefore is free, released, perfected -- a jivanmukta -- for what seems to us an eternity. Synonymous with moksha, nirvana, emancipation.

 

Liberation of the self from the causes of illusion is sometimes spoken of in relation to the seven sensitive and sensory veils, especially with reference to the human manas principle. Emancipation consists in recognizing that these veils, of which the lower four are by far the most illusory, are the perceivers, and that the function of the true self is those higher faculties which collate and discriminate among perceptions of all kinds and which reach final and true judgment. The self sees or ascertains truth; the veils perceive and are caught by the webs of illusion.

 

The one who has achieved this is said to have attained the fire of knowledge, which destroys not only illusion but even destroys the causes leading to the planes of illusion. Vishnu, among the Vaishnavas in India, and Siva among the Saivas, or indeed of any other divinity, can be considered the cause of final emancipation when used for the true self, exactly as Christians may claim with perfect truth that the Christ (in man) is the shower of final emancipation. The successive emancipation from the seven veils marks seven stages of initiation. Buddhi, from this standpoint the highest, most diaphanous, and therefore the closest to reality of the veils, is said to be transformed into the tree whose fruit is emancipation.

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Liberalism - The nature and origins of liberalism

Liberalism - Etymology and historical usage. The word "liberal" derives from the Latin liber ("free"), from which the term "liberty" also comes. Livy's History of Rome from Its Foundation describes the struggles for freedom between the plebeian and patrician classes. Largely dormant during the vicissitudes of the Middle Ages, this struggle began again in the Italian Renaissance, in the conflict between the supporters of free city states and the supporters of the Pope. Niccolò Machiavelli, in his See also:

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Liberal Christianity - Liberal hermeneutics

The interpretation of the Bible (hermeneutics) within liberal theology is non-propositional. This means that liberal theologians do not take the Bible as an inventory of factual statements such as 'God divided the light from the darkness', but rather interpret the Bible as a document of the human authors' beliefs and feelings about God at the time of its writing, within a historical and cultural context. Therefore, religious models and concepts must be updated to reflect the class, gender, social and political etc. context from ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - American liberalism - History of American Liberalism

American liberalism - Early American Liberalism. Herbert Croly (1869-1930), philosopher and political theorist, was the first to effectively combine classical liberal theory with progressive philosophy to form what would come to be known as American liberalism [1][2]. Croly presented the case for a planned economy, increased spending on education, and the creation of a society based on the "brotherhood of mankind," ideas that are now an integral part of American government. Croly founded the periodical, The New R ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Classical liberalism - Classical liberal philosophy

Classical liberals subscribe to a very basic and universal understanding of the world and the rights of all humans. Classical Liberals believe in private property, free markets, economic competition, freedom from coercion, limited government (all economic freedom), the rule of law, and individual rights (natural rights is also used). These are inherent to all people, of all faiths, cultures, societies, ethnicities, and histories and that all peoples are capable of achieving liberal government and liberal societies not just western cultures. (Classical) liberals prefer a laissez-faire style of government ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Classical liberalism - Liberalism and the great depression

The Great Depression of the 1930s shook public faith in laissez-faire capitalism and "the profit motive," leading many to conclude that the unregulated markets could not produce prosperity and prevent poverty. Many liberals were troubled by the political instability and restrictions on liberty that they believed were caused by the growing relative inequality of wealth. Key liberals of this persuasion, such as John Dewey, John Maynard Keynes, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, argued for the creation of a more elaborate state apparatus to serve as th ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Classical liberalism - Liberalism against totalitarianism

In the mid-20th century, liberalism began to define itself in opposition to totalitarianism. The term was first used by Giovanni Gentile to describe the socio-political system set up by Mussolini. Stalin would apply it to German Nazi-ism, and after the war it became a descriptive term for the common characteristics of fascist and Marxist-Leninist regimes. Totalitarian regimes sought and tried to implement absolute centralized control over all aspects of society, in order to achieve prosperity and stability. Such governments often justified s ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Classical liberalism - Classical liberalism versus 'modern' or social liberalism

The Industrial Revolution greatly increased material wealth, but also created social problems, such as pollution, child labor, and overcrowding in the cities. Material and scientific progress led to greater longevity and a reduced mortality rate. The population increased dramatically. The downside of this was an oversupply of labor, which led to declining wages. Economic liberals, such as John Locke, Adam Smith, and Wilhelm von Humboldt felt th ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Liberal Democrats - History of the Liberal Democrats

Liberal Democrats - Founding. The Liberal Democrats are descended from the Liberal Party which dominated British politics for much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Having declined to third party status after the rise of the Labour Party in 1922, the Liberals found themselves challenged for their place as the centrist party of British politics in the 1980s, when in 1981, with the Labour Party moving to the left, a group of moderate Labour MPs broke away and established the Social Democratic ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Liberal Judaism - Liberal Judaism in the UK

As well as the general sense above, the term 'Liberal Judaism' has a particular significance in the UK. For historical reasons in the UK, 'Liberal Judaism' exists as a separate identity from the United Kingdom's Movement for Reform Judaism. The Movement for Reform Judaism is associated with communities which are typically somewhat more conservative than most Reform communities in the United States; whereas the spirit of most Liberal communities in the UK is ve ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Liberal Christianity - Criticisms of liberal Christianity

Watchman Fellowship's 2001 Index of Cults and Religions defines liberal Christianity as "A movement that seeks to retain religious and spiritual values of Christianity while discounting the infallible authority of the Bible. Its origins are in the German Enlightenment, notably in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and the religious views of Friedrich Schleiermacher. It does bear mention, however, that some earlier theologians are used to support liberal ideas, Arius and Peter Abelard for example. Liberals reject the stated authorship and histor ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Liberal Christianity - Characteristics of Liberal Christianity

Different and varied views are encouraged in liberal Christianity as part of the goal of experiencing Christianity on a personal level. A less hardline approach towards doctrine is taken than in conservative Christianity: unique ways of approaching God and talking about Christianity are encouraged. With this sense of personal freedom and emphasis on individual experience, dogmatic statements and claims of absolute truth on fine doctrinal points are not part of liberal Christian discourse. Liberal Christians can and not infrequently do hold t ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - American liberalism - Negative use of the term liberal

The negative use of the word "liberal" in American politics dates at least from the time of self-proclaimed American liberal President John F. Kennedy. In his speech accepting the Presidential nomination by the New York Liberal Party on September 14, 1960, Kennedy contested the claims of his "opponents" that "liberal" meant "someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar."[13]. John Lukacs, in "The Triumph and Collapse of Liberalism," observed a change in ...

Liberation: Encyclopedia II - Liberal feminism - Views of liberal feminists

Many liberal feminists tend to support the legalization of same-sex marriage or civil unions for same-sex couples. It is their opinion that the government has no place defining what sort of consensual relationships individuals may engage in. Liberal feminists also tend to be pro-choice when it comes to debates concerning abortion. A common argument given for this position is that every individual should have control over his or her own body, and that this also affords t ...
