Do these philosophy's combined represent liberalism?
Feel free to add to this list, improve on my answers or suggest why you think one or more than one should be dropped.


Existentialism - Individualism, rejection of labels, discovering your own meaning.

Christianity - Love, forgiveness, helping the less fortunate, not judging people who are different than you, loving your enemy.

Hinduism - Love, solving problems through non-violence.

Buddhism - Losing your ego and focusing on care and love for others.

Anti-authoritarianism - using reason to try to grasp the truth, and determining the legitimate functions of institutions will optimize human flourishing for the individual and society both in respect to its material and spiritual welfare.

In Economics

Capitalism - Economic freedom based on individual creativity.

Socialism - Helping one another and keeping Capitalism in check creating a balance of Capitalism and Socialism.
