Summary:
La revue Liberté se préoccupe de littérature, de théâtre, de cinéma, de philosophie, bref de tout ce qui relève de la réflexion et de la beauté, ce qui n'est en rien contradictoire avec le désir de s'arrimer au politique dans son sens le plus large. L'art est ainsi pour la revue une condition du politique ; un lieu de parole plutôt qu'une spécialisation. Liberté se veut une véritable agora, en dehors de toute sphère d'influence, un lieu de débats aiguillonné par une urgence : la nécessité de faire acte de résistance tant au bavardage médiatique qu'au murmure marchand ambiant.
