Perfectionist Turn - Den Uyl, Douglas (Vice President, Education Programs, Liberty Fund, Inc.) a Rasmussen, Douglas (Professor of Philosophy, St John's University)

Contemporary political philosophy - e.g. Martha Nussbaum, John Rawls and Amartya Sen - tries to separate itself from other philosophical positions and frameworks. Now, Den Uyl and Rasmussen challenge this trend by moving away liberalism to what they call 'individualistic perfectionism', creating a powerful new way to think about ethics.
