The Ideal of Equality

About this book

One of the central debates within contemporary Anglo-American political philosophy concerns how to formulate an egalitarian theory of distributive justice which gives coherent expression to egalitarian convictions and withstands the most powerful anti-egalitarian objections. This book brings together many of the key contributions to that debate by some of the worlds leading political philosophers: Richard Arneson G.A. Cohen Ronald Dworkin Thomas Nagel Derek Parfit John Rawls T.M. Scanlon and Larry Temkin.
