7. KEEP By "definition" liberalism is necessarily difficult to define in its emotional, "free inquiry, "open minded" intentions for liberation from both injustice, from "revealed knowledge", from traditional values, from absolutes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by At7300 (talk • contribs) 23 Nov 2005
