The "comprehensive liberalism" defended in this book offers an alternative to the narrower "political liberalism" associated with the writings of John Rawls. By arguing against making tolerance as fundamental a value as individual autonomy, and extending the reach of liberalism to global society, it opens the way for dealing more adequately with problems of human rights and economic inequality in a world of cultural pluralism.

“Tan exposes central flaws with Rawls’s political liberalism both for the domestic case and as applied to the global arena. Tan offers a more theoretically consistent alternative theory of global justice that does not abandon its commitment to individual freedom or equality, yet has adequate resources to respect some peoples’ rights. The framework Tan offers should be quite congenial to those egalitarian liberals disappointed with Rawls’s fairly conservative views as articulated in The Laws of Peoples and also of considerable interest to anyone concerned about the most compelling version of liberalism.”—Gillian Brock Philosophical Books
