PHIL 38.01 Equality, Justice, and Democracy

What is the nature of equality? How much does equality matter in ethics and politics? And why (if at all) does equality matter in the first place? This course concerns these and related questions about the role of equality in evaluating the social and political world. One of our central concerns will be how equality relates to other (purportedly important) ethical and political values, including justice, democracy, and freedom.
