It shouldn't make sense to say that liberals want to impose their values on everyone else. If it does, liberals are liberaling wrong.

Even if I denounce liberal ideas like free will, voluntary association and individualism?
-
Maybe not. In ways that matter. I don't know if free will exists or a self. I believe in the right to individuality.
-
I'm a personalist, I reject there is something called "individual" which you can separate from your family or society.
-
I think our individuality is part of us. So is our group ties & our shared humanity.
-
Which I would refer to personhood, but not as individuality. Individuality assumes something that is indivisible, separate.
-
Semantic differences then.
-
Not really, if you're a liberal individualist, you view liberty as non-intervention while a personalist might agree with interventions.
-
We have a semantic difference in that we're talking abt same thing using different words. Let's not argue definitions.
