| description | Liberalism Without Perfection elaborates a generally Rawlsian conception of
public justification in order to defend antiperfectionist liberalism. This
critical response raises questions about the link between the two parts of
the project. On the hand, it is possible to reject that demand that reasons
for political decisions pass a qualified acceptability requirement even if
one is strictly opposed to paternalism. On the other hand, the commitment to
public justifiability does not rule out all perfectionism, if there are some
claims about the good that are not reasonably rejectable. |
