Liberalism on Freedom - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 104 Freedom/Liberalism/Gaus: Theories of personal autonomy, in insisting both that traditional liberal freedoms are necessary for personal autonomy, and that achieving autonomy is itself a type of freedom, thus have a strong claim to be advancing distinctively liberal moralities. Contrast this to Ronald Dworkin’s famous claim that liberalism rests on a basic commitment to equality, not liberty (1978(1): 115; see also 2000(2): Part I). >Liberalism/Dworkin, >Utilitarian Liberalism/Gaus. 1.
