Fair Governance (eBook, PDF)

Paternalism and Perfectionism

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses the particular conditions necessary for the state to legally interfere with our freedom of choice, whether it be to either satisfy our individual pursuit of happiness (paternalism) or to prevent us from making immoral choices (perfectionism). F.H. Buckley carefully links these two notions of state power with recent empirical literature on judgment biases and happiness studies. The book surveys the literature and then argues for a nuanced form of social perfectionism, one which seeks to promote the kind of liberal nationalism found in the United States.
