I agree that libertarianism is premised on the absurd notion that the governance of society should be governed by the idea of humans living as isolated individuals. We humans are and always have been social beings: we live our separate lives together in groups. Whether anyone is for or against criminalizing abortion is purely a matter of belief--but so is believing in a priori Rights of any kind or equality (or inequality).

The Liberal meta-ideology, based on believing in liberty and equality as the "twin pillars of justice," has served humanity reasonably well. For one thing, it has given us the democratic political process.

Clearly, however, that approach to justice has run its course. Its inadequacies in theory and practice are being exposed with ever greater clarity. I am convinced that to preserve the good that Liberalism, as the only meta-ideology dedicated to justice, has given the world, we must go "Beyond Liberalism" to a more advanced understanding of justice.
