Opis

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.
