Defending perfectionism: Some comments on Quong’s liberalism without perfection
Year: 2014 Journal: Filozofija i drustvo Vol: 25 (1)Pages: 35-46 Publisher: Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, Belgrade
Abstract
The article offers a defense of liberal perfectionism in the light of criticism of perfectionist politics stated in Jonathan Quong?s book Liberalism without Perfection. It argues against Quong?s claims that perfectionism is incompatible with demands of individual autonomy and non-paternalism as requirements of liberal commitment of treating all persons as free and equal.
