 Liberty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Liberty is a concept of political philosophy or, as in Kant's philosophy, a metaphysical idea, often equated with freedom.
Various political ideologies oppose themselves on the understanding of liberty, which can be conceived, in an individualist and liberal conception as the freedom of the individual, whilst socialism, for example, equates liberty with equality, claiming that liberty without equality amounts to the domination of the most powerful.
Furthermore, liberty is often considered as a synonym of freedom (as by Quentin Skinner (1998) Liberty before Liberalism, citing Hobbes's Leviathan), although some have argued a distinction (eg David Hackett Fischer (2005) Liberty and Freedom: a visual history of America's founding ideas).
