Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterScientificpeer-review

Abstract

In this essay I aim to show that a doctrine of self-limiting individualism is presupposed by the most influential account of liberalism today, political liberalism. My argument is that political liberalism can admit that it is based on a rather comprehensive normative ideal of individualism, without Thereby compromising its idea l of letting the interests of all citizens in leading a good life matter equally.
