Eleutheromania, or eleutherophilia is "a mania or frantic zeal for freedom".[1] The term is sometimes used in a psychological context, likened to a mental disorder, such as John G. Robertson's definition as a mad zeal or irresistible craving for freedom.[2] However, it is also sometimes used to simply mean a passion for liberty.[3] Individuals espousing these ideals are called eleutheromaniacs.[4] An antonym for the term is eleutherophobia. An individual that fears freedom is an eleutherophobe.[2]
