abstract:
In The Perfectionist Turn, Den Uyl and Rasmussen argue for an ethics of responsibility and oppose the prevailing ethics of respect. Political philosophy must be "tethered" ontologically, and arguments such as Moore's open question argument that would, if correct, show that tethering is not possible do not succeed.
