Liberalism is most fundamentally constituted by a pair of deeper anthropological assumptions that give liberal institutions a particular orientation and cast: 1) anthropological individualism and the voluntarist conception of choice, and 2) human separation from and opposition to nature.
I'm getting ahead of the narrative, but I disagree. The first point sounds mostly right, but not the second.
I'd go with:
… anthropological individualism leading to
1) assumption of rational choice and
2) social disassociation.
