Liberalism is a political and social philosophy that promoted individual rights, civil liberties democracy, and free enterprise. Human action serves purposely behavior. When we talk about action, it is the will that put operation and transformed into an agency, goalkeepers, response in ego stimuli, and environmental conditions. The unconscious behavior of the bodily organs and cells is for the acting ego no less than the fact of the external world. Remember man can sometimes succeed through and by the use of the power of his will in overcoming sickness. Human response to the action is not simply to give preference. The man also shows preference in situations in which things and events are unavoidable or are believed to be so. To express wishes and hopes and to announce planned action may be forms of action in so far as they aim in themselves at the realization of a certain purpose. Action refers to the real matter. We may say that action is the manifestation of a man's will. Contentment or satisfaction is the state of a human being that doesn't and cannot result in any action. The acting person is eager to substitute a more satisfactory state of affairs for a less satisfactory. Human Action striving for happiness. The ultimate goal of human action is always the satisfaction of the acting man's desire.
Human action is one of the agencies that bring change. The action is the essence of his nature and existence. It is necessary always rational. Rational action must be pleonastic and must be rejected as such. And at the end of it is the satisfaction of some desires of the acting man. It may call irrational if its aims are at the expense of “material” and tangible advantages. Remember the opposite action is not irrational behavior, but a reactive response to stimuli on the part of the bodily organs and instincts that cannot be controlled by the person's volition. To the same stimulus, man can under certain conditions respond both by the reactive response and by action. We must simply establish the fact that to act, man must know the causal relationship between events, processes, or states of affairs.
Thinking and acting are the specific
human features of a man. This human action which is inextricably linked with
human thought is conditioned by logical necessity. The human mind can't conceive a mode of action whose categories would differ from the
categories which determine our own actions.
Change can be conceived as
the outcome either of the operation of mechanistic causality or of purposeful
behavior; for the human mind, there is no third way available.
Daily experience proves not
only that the sole suitable method for studying the conditions of our nonhuman environment is provided by the category of causality; it proves no less convincingly
that our fellow men are acting beings as we ourselves are.
