According to the neutrality thesis, in designing state policies
govern ments should not allow themselves to be informed by any
particular con ceptions of the good life. The aim of this book is
to contribute to th e debate about this thesis in two specific
ways. Firstly, the limits o f acceptable state perfectionism are
examined, not on a general level but by reference to some
particular concerns of government policy; tra nsgenic animals,
future generations, the promotion of the arts, minori ty cultures,
the allocation of scarce health care resources, the integ ration of
mentally handicapped people into the community, and the expr ession
of national identities. Secondly, the book as a whole evaluates the
argument that the government has a special task to produce or to
maintain intrinsically collective aspects of the good life, because
th ese are to be seen as public goods.
