Einstein's philosophy and the liberal philosophy is the same. He wrote this almost 100 years ago. "For the rest of his life Einstein would expound a democratic socialism that had a liberal, anti -authoritarian underpinning. He advocated equality, social justice, and the taming of capitalism. He was a fierce defender of the underdog. But to the extent that any revolutionaries edged over toward the Bolshevik desire to impose centralized control, or to the extent that a regime such as Russis'a, struck him as authoritarian, Einstein's instinctive love of individual liberty usually provoked a disdainful reaction. From Walter Isaacson's recent biography of Einstein. My note: This was his philosophy is whole life and sure sounds like a modern liberal philosophy to me.
