Sumario:This article analyzes and compares how Joseph Chan and Jonathan Quong relate liberalism and perfectionism, showing that neither can adequately formulate one of the possibilities of this relationship, political perfectionism. Initially, this article shows that what Chan presents and defends is a comprehensive liberal and intuitionist perfectionism, which he correctly classifies as moderate, but mistakenly names as political perfectionism. Next, the analysis finds that Quong points out the formal possibility of political perfectionism, but he does it inconsistently, as he repeatedly retreats to a position where political perfectionism is confused with comprehensive perfectionism. In conclusion, this article shows that political perfectionism still needs to be appropriately formulated as a concrete and promising possibility for liberal democracies.
