Liberal regimes suffer no lack of defenders. In recent literature we can distinguish three prominent strategies of defense. The first grounds liberalism in personal autonomy, the second appeals to value pluralism, while the thisrd invokes the distinctive practices and shared understandings tat characterize contemporary liberal democracies. Those who defend liberalism in one of these ways tend to abjure the other two alternatives. They do so for understandable reasons: the first two arguments appear incompatible the first argues for the uniquely privileged importance of autonomy, the second that no single value merits privileged status), while the third, if either of the first two arguments succeed, would be otiose and would provide a needlessly modest defense of a positions that could be supported much more robustly. Given the apparent tensions among these approaches, the argument for the liberal perfectionist state advanced by Joseph Raz becomes even more intriguing, for Raz draws upon all three ideas. To Raz, autonomy, value pluralism, and the appeal to social practices figure not as competing ways of defending liberal regimes but as mutually reinforcing concerns that combine to make the most powerful case.
