Douglas B. Rasmussen and Douglas J. Den Uyl's recent book Norms of
Liberty: A Perfectionist Basis for Non-Perfectionist Politics (Penn
State University Press, 2005) is being received in philosophy and
political theory as an important and original defense of
liberalism. The book offers a neo-Aristotelian ethic of human
flourishing as a basis for a liberal conception of human rights.
One of the authors' central contentions is that a key problem for
any (liberal) political philosophy is how to establish a
political/legal order which in principle does not require that any
one person or group's well-being be given structured preference
over that of any other. This companion volume, an interpretive and
critical reader, features essays from both philosophers and
political scientists, as well as an omnibus reply by Rasmussen and
Den Uyl. Norms of Liberty makes challenging arguments about key
issues, which makes a multi-disciplinary reader a valuable asset
for both students and scholars. Reading Rasmussen and Den Uyl is
designed both to explicate the book's arguments and to explore
possible objections.
