Much of the recent literature on political perfectionism has focused on dealing with objections to this view. This book adopts a different approach: It attempts to highlight the intuitive appeal of liberal perfectionism by presenting a positive prima facie argument in its favour. The book starts by clarifying the relation between political perfectionism a conception of politics and prudential perfectionism and ethical perfectionism a conception of the good life, and a type of ethical theory. It is crucial to start by selecting a plausible form of ethical perfectionism, as it makes an important difference to the plausibility of the political conception based upon it. Once appropriate distinctions are drawn and a plausible form of liberal perfectionism is endorsed, many of the standard objections to perfectionism are shown to fail to reach their target. Different arguments in favour of liberal perfectionism are then proposed and critically examined, but the resilience of some pragmatic arguments against liberal perfectionism is conceded. The book ends by showing that perfectionism can be surprisingly relevant for discussions of social justice and proceeds to draw a sketch of the perfectionist implications for questions of distributive justice.

This book is dedicated to my mother and my deepest gratitude goes to my parents, Branka and Leonel Couto, who have shown so much patience towards me during my long studies and have given me unwavering support and love.
This book is based on my PhD dissertation at Oxford University. I would like to thank my wonderful supervisor, Mark Philp, for providing me with so many helpful comments, support and banter all along. I am also grateful to the late Jerry Cohen who encouraged me from the very start to do political philosophy and commented on an earlier draft. For his insightful comments on the whole draft, for often disagreeing with me and for his enduring love, I am grateful to Guy Kahane. For financial support during my studies at Oxford University, I am grateful to the generous Berrow scholarship. Finally, the last revisions of this book were made while I was funded by the European Research Council (Advanced Grant Distortions of Normativity).
