This book is an original critique of contemporary liberal theories
of justice, focusing on the problem of how to relate the personal
point of view of the individual to the impartial perspective of
justice. Margaret Moore's examination of prominent contemporary
arguments for liberal justice reveals that individualist theories
are subject to two serious difficulties: the motivation problem and
the integrity problem. Individualists cannot explain why the
individual should be motivated to act in accordance with the
dictates of liberal justice, and - related to this - offer
radically incoherent accounts of the person. Revisionist liberal
attempts to ground liberalism in contextual and perfectionist terms
offer more defensible foundations, but Dr Moore argues that such
theories do not support liberal political principles. She concludes
by sketching a historical and concrete approach to political and
ethical theorizing which reformulates the relation between
self-interest and morality, and is not subject to the problems that
beset liberal individualist theories of justice. Her book advances
the debate between communitarians and liberals about the kind of
moral foundation which a liberal society requires.
