    pro?pri?um (prō′prē-əm) n. pl. pro?pri?a (-prē-ə) In Aristotelian thought, a predicable property common to all members of a kind but not constituting part of the definition of that kind. [Medieval Latin, from neuter of Latin proprius, proper (to) (translation of Greek idion); see per in Indo-European roots.]

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
