1) Same question as Rixin: What features does williams realism have in common with liberal theory?
2) According to hall williams claims that PM is ignoring history or historical facts in its reasoning. What is the problem with building up an ideal theory when you can adjust this theory afterwards? When Geuss says ( text 2 weeks ago) politics is rather choosing a or b instead of having an ideal theory, isnt it required for us to have an ideal theory in mind to decide whether we take option a or option b? What is the fundamental problem that makes ideal theory and political realism incompatible?
