Theory of Justice, Political Liberalism, PerfectionismAbstract
The article discusses the relationship between the intuitionist/Aristotelian perfectionism analyzed and rejected by John Rawls and the moderate perfectionism proposed by Joseph Chan, sustaining, from the interpretation given by Steven Wall of the Rawlsian Aristotelian principle, that such moderate perfectionism is a configuration of Intuitionist/Aristotelian perfectionism, which, in addition to not being rejected in terms of the arguments of Rawls' Theory of Justice, would be fully compatible with its justice as fairness.
