Abstract

The liberal idea (tradition) in the social sciences originates from the declaration of basic liberal values in the 18th century, namely: individual freedom, equality in the sense of equality of opportunities, the contractual nature of the coexistence of the individual and the state, the protection of individual rights and freedoms. Since the Enlightenment philosophy, the right to life, liberty and property have been recognized as belonging to people for life and inalienable. The idea of individual freedom is indisputable, central to liberalism, and the requirement of the rule of law acts as an instrument of social control. Thus, the classical liberal tradition laid the foundations for understanding individualism as a continuous development and self-expression of the individual.
