Minoans are an archetype of peoples throughout history who have had a maritime, commercial, largely pacific world-view. Generally speaking, they have embraced part or all of the Classical Liberal triad of intellectual, economic, and political liberty. Minoan societies are “Open Societies” in the terminology of Henri Bergson. Broadly speaking, they are cosmopolitan, trade-focused, maritime in orientation, and bourgeois. They generally embrace the Liberal Triad of economic, political, and intellectual liberty.
