Liberal social democracy is a political, economic, and social philosophy that can construct a political system consisting of a liberal, libertarian, democratic, and republican state, union of states, or global union of states; a social system that envisions the construction of a just, humane, open, and prosperous society where every individual is afforded a safety net to ensure his human dignity; an economic system basically anchored on laissez-faire or market forces tempered with State intervention to level the playing field, promote social and economic justice, while attempting to approximate the egalitarian ideal.The "core values" of Emmanuel T. Santos are: love, truth, justice,freedom,initiative, creativity, knowledge, power (empowerment),self-fulfillment or sublimation, apocalyptic liberation, and happiness.The "purpose of his life, raison d'etre", is to seek the perfection of his humanity and attain apocalyptic liberation; to touch the lives of others to make their life better or realize their best self. And attain happiness.Emmanuel T. Santos' epistemology uses reflective thinking, critical and analytical thinking, meditation, introspection, intuition, observation, and experience.
