Liberal neutrality is the idea that the liberal state should not promote any particular 'conception of the good'. This idea formed a cornerstone of John Rawls' work and has been developed by many other liberal thinkers e.g Brian Barry, Robert Nozick, Ronald Dworkin etc.
Liberal neutrality provides a critique the basis for some critiques of multiculturalism and the idea of group rights.
