Soru 9:

Liberalism is concerned with order. This order is law. The liberal always divides the world into three: into what is intrinsically necessary (the self), what is necessary to support that intrinsic necessity (a system of standards, rules, laws), and what is contingent (everything else, including all other beliefs, practices, and institutions). In liberalism the relation between one self and another is contingent, not constitutive; and it is law which enables the freedom of separate selves to co-exist. According to the liberal, whatever we want to achieve in the world can only be judged in terms of the fact that the fundamental debt is the one owed to freedom. The pure thought of liberalism is that only freedom has infinite credit: everything else is an instrument of that credit, and is in debt in relation to this credit.
