“This essay was prompted by my reading of John Passmore’s book, The Perfectibility of Man, which was first published in 1969. I read the book mainly because of James M. Buchanan’s suggestion that ‘it remains the most definitive work on the history of ideas’ relating to the extent to which classical liberalism depends on some presumption that man is perfectible.” (03/05/26)
