Liberal Philosophy

 

Greatness and happiness for the individual and society is best achieved thru the philosophy – and subsequent social culture, personal lifestyle, and intellectual attitude – of pure liberalism. This essentially means thru the epistemology of reason and science, the metaphysics of naturalism and objectivity, the ethics of individualism and self-interest, the esthetics of beauty and heroism, and the spirituality of transcendence and triumph.

Liberalism was invented by the scientific and philosophic Greeks. It was extended and improved by the Romans, Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Ayn Rand. The relatively noble and powerful nations of Britain, France, Germany, Japan, America, and others need to work hard and smart to extend and improve liberalism still further.

The philosophies of religious conservatism and collectivist progressivism are highly illiberal, omni-destructive, and evil. Thye harm the One and the group.  Conservatism today is maybe 40% liberal at best, while current, post-2015, woke progressivism is perhaps only 25% liberal.

The Holy Individual – the cynosure of the universe – must never heed Rightism, Leftism, or some combination. He must never serve or sacrifice himself to the “god” of conservatives or the “collective” of the progressives. There’s no evidence that any deity or semi-deity even exists. Nor is there any reason to think that humanity as a whole enjoys any kind of life or existence separate from, or somehow superior to, its individual members.

Rightist and Leftist illiberalism – with all their irrationality, self-sacrifice, and self-destruction – need to be crushed. The philosophy, culture, lifestyle, and attitude of liberalism needs to ascend and triumph.
