The Idea of Perfectibility

By Virginia L. Muller

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.
