Carstens reviews 'Liberalism, Perfectionism, and Restraint' by Steven Wall.
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.
