Perfectionism (philosophy)

Perfectionism is defined as a meticulous pursuit to reach excellence.

In philosophy, it is the view that the promotion of individual and collective human excellence is one of the main factors which should be taken into account when judging the political and social worth of a society.

Dr. Mark Alan Walker argues that rational perfectionism is or should be the ethical imperative behind transhumanism in his essay Absolute Versus Human Perfectionism.
