Bu yazının amacı, Douglas B. Rasmussen ve Douglas D. Uyl tarafından kaleme alınan Norms of Liberty: A Perfectionist Basis for Non-Perfectionist Politics. (Özgürlüğün Normları: Mükemmeliyetçi Olmayan Bir Siyaset İçin Mükemmeliyetçi Bir Temel) (University Park, Pennsylvania: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 2005) adlı eseri eleştirel bir analize tabi tutmaktır. Bu eserde yazarlar, liberalizmin içine düştüğüne inandıkları krizden bir çıkış yolu gösterme amacını taşımaktadırlar. Bu doğrultuda ilk olarak, yazarların bakış açısından liberalizmin nasıl bir krizle karşı karşıya olduğu ortaya konulacak; ikinci aşamada Rasmussen ve Uyl’un bu krizin aşılması için önerdikleri çözüm önerisi sunulacak ve son olarak da bu öneri eleştirel bir değerlemeye tabi tutulacaktır
