Are liberalism and perfectionism compatible? In this study, Steven
Wall presents and defends a perfectionist account of political
morality that takes issue with many currently fashionable liberal
ideas but retains the strong liberal commitment to the ideal of
personal autonomy. He begins by critically discussing the most
influential version of anti-perfectionist liberalism, examining the
main arguments that have been offered in its defence. He then aims
to clarify the ideal of personal autonomy, presents an account of
its value and shows that a strong commitment to personal autonomy
is fully compatible with an endorsement of perfectionist political
action designed to promote valuable pursuits and discourage base
ones.
