Social Liberty

|
Definition Social liberty is the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual. Relation with individual liberty As the starting point for individual liberty is having a free will and making choices as an individual alone, social liberty is oriented on the choices an individual can make in a social context. Relation with negative liberty and positive liberty Applications in political philosophy Social liberty has applications in social liberalism, whereas social liberalism is the belief that liberalism should include social justice. Unlike e.g. libertarianism, social liberalism holds the belief that the individual should receive support where it is needed in having equal opportunity. This inevitably has consequences for the role society plays regarding the individual's liberty and the role a government should have in securing social justice. |
