The concept of perfectibility in political thought has been the foundation for eminently liberal, highly individualistic, and empirically responsive political constructions. This volume attempts to restore conceptual luster to the currently clouded idea of perfectibility. The author shows that, far from being a meaningless slogan or irrelevant abstraction, the idea of perfectibility has vital meaning for political society.

She is extremely well acquainted with contemporary political literature and frequently draws upon it to emphasize her conviction that popular sovereignty, limited government, and creative self-expression are all ideas whose time has come.>>> (Choice )
