"Liberal" things (4)

I believe the answer is:

arts

'liberal things' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for arts that I've seen before include "Aesthetic pursuits for rats" , "'Poetry, music, painting (4)'" , "Eg, painting, sculpture" , "Products of human creativity" , "Non-science subjects" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
