liberality
Noun

This term describes a spirit of openness and abundance, whether applied to material wealth or intellectual curiosity. When referring to spending, it suggests a noble or magnanimous quality of giving that exceeds mere obligation, often carrying a connotation of grace and voluntary kindness.

In an intellectual or social sense, it denotes a lack of rigidity. It describes a mindset that welcomes diverse perspectives and resists dogmatism. This usage is more formal than "open-mindedness" and implies a principled commitment to freedom of thought.
