Eleutheromania, or eleutherophilia is "a mania or frantic zeal for freedom". 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''.John Robertson, An Excess of Phobias and Manias, 2003 p 75 However, it is also sometimes used to simply mean a passion for liberty. Individuals espousing these ideals are called eleutheromaniacs.Current Literature - Volume 49 - Page 564, Edward Jewitt Wheeler - 1910 An antonym for the term is eleutherophobia. An individual that fears freedom is an eleutherophobe.
