Apstrakt

The article offers a defense of liberal perfectionism in the light of criticism of perfectionist politics stated in Jonathan Quong’s book Liberalism without Perfection. It argues against Quong’s claims that perfectionism is incompatible with demands of individual autonomy and non-paternalism as requirements of liberal commitment of treating all persons as free and equal. Keywords: Quong, perfectionism, autonomy, paternalism, liberalism
