A main point and perhaps the premise of Kymlicka's argument in a nutshell is that "freedom is linked to culture" . His argument was that to consider ourselves truly free, we must belong to a culture. Kymlicka advocates in particular for the rights of minorities; his argument therefore centers on the fact that understanding and guaranteeing the sustainability of minority groups is consistent with liberal thinking on justice and can be a factor in expanding the freedom of individuals.
