Working Hard and Kicking Back: The Case for Diachronic Perfectionism
Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy:1-10 (2009)

I respond by articulating two different versions of diachronic perfectionism, which takes into account the level of development and exercise of essential human capacities over the course of an entire lifetime. | |||||||||
