Social Studies Dictionary - Liberal Democracy
Definition and meaning of Liberal Democracy Liberal Democracy - [Government] A liberal democracy is a type of democracy based on the protection of individual rights and freedoms and on the consent of the governed to establish political authority. The term liberal derives from "liberty." A liberal government focuses on protecting individual rights from the tyranny of the majority. The term democracy derives from the Greek word for "rule by the people." A democracy is a form of government which exists for the good of the people as a whole. In a democracy, people provide authority to the government. The United States developed as a traditional liberal democracy and its Declaration of Independence joined the concepts of liberty and democracy by stating that: "All men are created equal" "they are endowed . . . with certain unalienable rights" governments are "instituted among men" and are therefore artificial people have a right to create a government to protect their rights governments are established for the limited purposes of securing individual rights authority is derived from consent of the governed people have the right to alter or abolish government when it fails to fulfill its purpose (Source: The Social Studies Center at Texas University ) Also see these pages: Social Studies, Social Studies Sitemap, History, History Sitemap

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.

Hinduism Dictionary on Liberation liberation: Moksha, release from the bonds of pasha, after which the soul is liberated from samsara (the round of births and deaths). In Saiva Siddhanta, pasha is the threefold bondage of anava, karma and maya, which limit and confine the soul to the reincarnational cycle so that it may evolve. Moksha is freedom from the fettering power of these bonds, which do not cease to exist, but no longer have the power to fetter or bind the soul. See: mala, jivanmukti, moksha, pasha, reincarnation, satguru, Self Realization, soul. (See also: Liberation, Hinduism, Body Mind and Soul)

Christian Theological Dictionary on Liberalism A Christian theological definition of Liberalism according to CARM - The Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry: " Liberalism In Christianity, the movement away from traditional orthodoxy often in an attempt to harmonize biblical teachings with science, humanism, or other secular fields. The result is often a denial of essential biblical doctrines such as the Trinity, the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His resurrection, and salvation by grace.

New Age
Spirituality Dictionary on Liberal Christianity Liberal Christianity A movement that seeks to retain religious and spiritual values of Christianity while discounting the 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. Liberals claim the Bible is merely inspired, not infallible. They prefer naturalistic explanations of miracles or view miracle accounts as legend or myth. They often deny or reinterpret in mythical terms such doctrines as the virgin birth, atoning death, and even the resurrection of Jesus. Liberalism has been most influential in mainline Protestant denominations and is rejected in Evangelical and Fundamentalist Christianity.

New Age
Spirituality Dictionary on Liberation Theology Liberation Theology A movement that attempts to unite theology with social and religious concerns about oppression. It finds expressions among blacks, feminists, Asians, Hispanics, and Native Americans, but it is most closely identified with the shift toward Marxism among Roman Catholic theologians and priests in Latin America. Most traditional doctrines of Christianity are de-emphasized or reinterpreted. Jesus and the Bible are defined and interpreted in light of a class struggle, with the gospel seen as a radical call to activism (or even revolution) promoting political and social answers usually in the form of classic Communism.
