@avermeule@MagdalenaHuds18@josias_rex 1/ Ok so here's how I see this. Liberalism seeks to perpetually put off the question of what is actually right, what is good; and, moreover, what a human being is. It says it wants these questions to be devolved to the individual, to not be a matter for the state.
