      You haven't fully converted me to liberalism yet. In the meantime: https://www.minds.com/blog/view/699215685196193795 …

      Sorry, I don't understand. Liberalism is against freedom & individuality?

      Opposite. Liberalism is based on freedom of the individual. I just dont think current argument to that end is as good as it could be.

      I don't think there needs to be an argument for freedom & individuality so much as a very strong one for denying or restricting them.

      I agree the onus ought to be on those who advocate restriction. But I also think its good to be able to present an argument why.

      Won't 'It makes me happy without harming anyone else' do? Only thing all my freedoms & individual choices have in common.

      People who take against you will question what you mean by "me", "happy" and "harm". As they did J.S Mill. Pays to have some answers ready.

      Harm, yes. That needs clarifying. I don't need arguments for being a person or justifications of what I mean by happiness.

      Both the left and the right criticise the liberal conception of the person. Seeing each of us as being more situated than liberals allow.

      None of my ethics rely on conceptions of the person or arguing that they are not situated culturally or historically.

          There can certainly be discussions abt what personhood is & whether a stable self & free will exist, if you want them.

          Maybe it boils down to the question of whether we each have a private conscience from whence we can reflect on our situated values?

          Conscience is a weasel word & private conscience an oxymoron historically & etymologically. Our own personal take on ethics?
