ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -In contrast to naturalism, liberalism as-serts the ontological irreducibility of autonomous action, i.e., Freedom; and humanism asserts the ontological irre-ducibility of what both defines and is defined through action: the Individual. In this they join in an essentially non-naturalistic metaphysics.

Detailed explanation-2: -Liberal humanism proposes that the subject is the free, unconstrained author of meaning and action, the origin of history. Unified, knowing, and autonomous, the human being seeks a political system which guarantees freedom of choice.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exaltation of the human form: Humanist art tends to present the human body in a state of heightened realism. Muscles, curves, and genitalia are emphasized as creations in God’s image.

Detailed explanation-4: -In brief, liberal-humanist education entails a particular combination of philosophical, ideological and institutional principles and arrangements that tend to support a high degree of autonomy for professional educationalists (educational theorists, trainers and administators as well as teachers).
