рассвобождение
Russian to English
Art/Literary
Philosophy
Если, скажем, последовательное рассвобождение некоего общества ведет ко всё возрастающему росту числа преступлений -- на это закрываются глаза; и в самом лучшем случае убийства, насилия и грабежи объявляются -- с видом глубокомысленной скорби -- «ценой, которую мы должны платить за общественный и хозяйственный прогресс«.
смысл абсолютно ясен, но вот философского эквивалента в инглише найти не получается

Comment: "I was initially siding with Larissa's suggestions but this seems to be it, tho' I'm sure its unlikely to be 'gradual' emancipation seems to be perfect. Thanks to all!"

licentiousness
Some dictionary definitions stress the application of this word to excessive sexual freedom, but I don't think that applies to the following two quotations:
Without Liberty, Law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without Law, Liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness."
James Q. Wilson quotes
Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness."
George Washington quotes
Without Liberty, Law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without Law, Liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness."
James Q. Wilson quotes

Vladimir Lioukaikine (X)
: could it be simply "license" or even "licensing" in this context?

Thank you. It could possibly be license (UK licence), though I think this might be ambiguous. It could certainly not be licensing.

loosening (up) of a social structure
Culture in the 1920s: Loosening Social Structure
According to one journalist in 1920, Americans were “weary of being noble” after a decade of intense progressive reform, morality, and self-righteousness. The 1920s saw a restless culture, spearheaded by America’s youth rebelling against the moral restrictions of past generations.

With the loosening of these common rules and values we also lose our sense of community, or identity with the group. The social bond is thereby weakened and social values and beliefs no longer provide us with coherent, consistent, or insistent moral guidance.

Libertinism
or Libertarianism.
Это я философствую на тему liberty vs. libertinism/libertarianism. Из контекста не понятно, идет ли это "рассвобождение" изнутри или снаружи, стихийно или организованно. Кстати, и "последовательное" - здесь тоже не ясен смысл. То ли "поэтапное", то ли "планомерное".
Еще вариант - license. Почти то же, что и licentiousness у Джека, только без прелюбодеяний.
"When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near" (Will Durant).
Но тут опять не процесс. Не уверен, можно ли здесь licensing употребить.
Лучше, наверное, описательно сказать, типа:
"...weakening of civilizational restraint in a society leads to...".

liberty without values too frequently degenerates into mere libertinism.

They move beyond the mere concept of liberty, and slip into a concept known as license.
