Liberalism can only be defined negatively. It is a mere critique, not a living idea.

Liberalism is Rationalism in politics.

Liberalism is a most important by-product of Rationalism, and its origins and ideology must be clearly shown.

If pessimism is despair, optimism is cowardice and stupidity. Is there any need to choose between them?

Rationalism, which is the feeling that everything is subject to and completely explicable by Reason, consequently rejects everything not visible and calculable.

To the fantastic mental illness of Rationalism, hard facts are regrettable things, and to talk about them is to create them.
