  Liberalism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Liberalism can be understood as (1) a political tradition (2) a political philosophy and (3) a general philosophical theory, encompassing a theory of value, a conception of the person and a moral theory as well as a political philosophy.
Green acknowledged that ‘…it must be of course admitted that every usage of the term [i.e., freedom] to express anything but a social and political relation of one man to other involves a metaphor…It always implies…some exemption from compulsion by another…(1986 [1895]: 229).
Those who insist that liberalism is ultimately a nihilistic theory can be interpreted as arguing that this transition cannot be made successfully: liberals, on their view, are stuck with a subjectivistic or pluralistic theory of value, and no account of the right emerges from it.

  Green liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Green Liberalism accepts that the natural world is a system in a state of flux, and does not seek to conserve the natural world as it is. However, it does seek to minimise the damage done by the human species on the natural world, and to aid the regeneration of damaged areas.
However, the brand of green politics advocated by most Green Parties is not Green Liberalism and would be better described as "Green Social Democracy".
The term Green Liberalism was coined, however, by political philosopher Marcel Wissenburg in - among others - his 1998 book "Green Liberalism: The free and the green society".

The Liberal Democrats' opponents describe them as being all things to all people, having so many policies that they would find it impossible to implement them consistently were they to find themselves in government; while supporters say that this reflects a misunderstanding of the federalist and decentralised nature of the party.
According to this view, liberalism or political centrism is consistent with a left-right analysis of politics, and denial of this is to claim that we live in a post-modern world where nothing can ever be known and nothing is as it seems.
The Liberal Democrats are a member party of the Liberal International and the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party and their 12 MEPs form part of the ALDE group in the European Parliament.

 Maria Dimova-Cookson, W. J. Mander (eds.) - T. H. Green: Ethics, Metaphysics, and Political Philosophy - Reviewed by ...
Green seemed worth revisiting in this context because his defense of positive liberty is based on a notion of the common good and because Green is sometimes said to have laid a foundation for the welfare state.
Green reaches this conclusion by arguing that what one has reason to desire is the exercise and enhancement of one's rational agency and that because rational agency is moral agency and moral agency is freedom in the positive sense, one's good is freedom in the positive sense.
Green's interpretation of true freedom in pursuit of a common good, Tyler argues, requires the republican form of freedom in which moral agents are free from arbitrary interference in the public sphere.

This is an agenda-setting exploration of the relationship between green politics and liberal ideology.
Reconciling classical liberalism with environmental constraints would be an interesting, challenging and important task, but unfortunately it is not what Wissenburg sets out to do.
Wissenburg takes a woolier, liberal democratic definition of liberty, and mixes in other essentials of that middle-of-the-road creed that classical liberals would not recognise, such as notions of social preferences, positive rights and egalitarianism.

 Ken Wilber Online: A Summary of Integral Psychology
Liberalism grew up in the same flatland atmosphere, the atmosphere that recognized only exteriors--which is precisely why, to this day, most liberals can only comfortably think about what needs to be fixed in the exteriors in order to make society a better place.
Liberalism fully knows this, but it constantly forgets it and thus tends to slide from the exalted, altogether noble stance that 'all values must be treated fairly and not prejudged according to one's race, sex, belief, or creed'--into the insipid, self-contradictory notion that 'all values are therefore the same, period.'
Green liberalism especially claims that no value stances are better or worse than others, and that leads, of course, straight to the mean green meme and the horrors of boomeritis, all courtesy of a massive pathology at the leading-edge.

Of course, the precise ideology meant by "capitalism" in the latter sense differs: what a Marxist or Green may describe as capitalist ideology may seem thoroughly alien to what a classical liberal means by calling her- or himself a capitalist, and vice versa.
Although it is arguable whether these meanings the word "capitalism" of the same kind are somehow "equivalent" under someone's subjective notion of equivalence, for the sake of not making a straw man argument when accusing someone else to be a proponent of capitalism, these different concepts must be clearly distinguished.

 John Barry, "Towards a Concrete Utopian Model of Green Political Economy", Post-Autistic Economics Review, ...
Accordingly, the model of green political economy outlined here is in keeping with Lukes’ suggestion that a concrete utopianism depends on the “knowledge of a self-transforming present, not an ideal future” (1984: 158).
It is for this reason that the final part of the paper looks at the long-standing green commitment to re-orientate the economy towards enhancing and being judged by ‘quality of life’ and ‘well-being’.
By distinguishing ‘green’ from ‘environmental’ and ‘ecological’, I am indicating that we need to place non-ecological and non-environmental considerations of social and global justice, democracy, human rights, gender equality and so on at the heart of sustainable development, rather than narrowly focusing on ecological or socio-ecological issues.
