This conclusion mirrors the reluctance that liberal political philosophy has always had about concepts such as the human telos or common good. Liberal theories of justice argue that individual freedom is a fundamental and neces¬sary element of social justice. Liberals have always rejected classical political theories that specify some common, specific, and particular way that all people should live. Even if we could specify what that life should be, it would seem that the only way to achieve it would be by forcing individuals to live lives other than the ones they choose. On the other hand, most liberals also reject the subjective and relativistic implication of more libertarian versions. It is not good for humans to do just anything they want. Some ways of living are mor¬ally better than others.
