      abstract = {The purpose of this work is to discuss and explain the  nature of political freedom. The approach is  interdisciplinary, drawing from social theory, history, and  law, as well as philosophy and political theory. The  argument presented defends a view of political freedom as a  social norm that has gained great prominence in those  places where it has emerged through time as a social  mechanism that supports social order and brings security to  social life. Regarded as a social norm, political freedom  promotes the toleration of the religious, cultural,  ideological, and moral differences that generate normative  conflict throughout society. The resultant understanding of  political freedom therefore defends a distinction between  political and personal freedom and separates the idea of  political freedom from the individualism with which it is  normally associated in most philosophical literature. The  argument also indicates why it is appropriate to regard  political freedom as a central virtue of social justice.  Craig L.
