About this product
Product Information
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.

Reviews
This work motivates a thorough reconsideration of the project of ethical theorizing. The Perfectionist Turn makes the individual the center of ethical gravity, anchoring moral value in the particulars of exercising agency rather than abstract conceptions owing their objectivity to universality. A subtle, illuminating metaethics of virtue is articulated in conjunction with the complementary political principles., "This outstanding work develops an illuminating contrast between moralities that arise from the 'template' of responsibility for one's self-perfection and moralities that arise from the 'template' of respect for persons at large. The authors defend the responsibility approach - especially through their sustained, innovative, and nuanced case for a highly individualistic moral perfectionism."--Eric Mack, Tulane University "The Perfectionist Turn offers a powerful defence of perfectionism itself, and demonstrates how ethics can be independent of yet in rapport with politics."--Fred D. Miller, Jr, University of Arizona "This work motivates a thorough reconsideration of the project of ethical theorizing. The Perfectionist Turn makes the individual the center of ethical gravity, anchoring moral value in the particulars of exercising agency rather than abstract conceptions owing their objectivity to universality. A subtle, illuminating metaethics of virtue is articulated in conjunction with the complementary political principles."--Jonathan Jacobs, The City University of New York, The Perfectionist Turn offers a powerful defense of perfectionism itself, and demonstrates how ethics can be independent of yet in rapport with politics., This outstanding work develops an illuminating contrast between moralities that arise from the "template" of responsibility for one's self-perfection and moralities that arise from the "template" of respect for persons at large. The authors defend the responsibility approach - especially through their sustained, innovative, and nuanced case for a highly individualistic moral perfectionism., "The Perfectionist Turn covers an impressive amount of ground, from the metaethics of virtue to a mercifully non-Rawlsian basis for political liberalism. In developing a sophisticated normative system worthy of the name, Den Uyl and Rasmussen have shown ambition rarely seen in contemporary value theory. Their book is not an easy read, but it is a rewarding one."--Justin Tosi, Georgetown University, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "The book covers a lot of ethical ground without losing focus. Those interested in a novel perspective on normative theory and meta-ethics will find much of use in this work. Summing Up: Recommended."--J.
