Title: The Equal Society Condition: New Subtitle: Essays on Equality in Theory and Practice ISBN-10: 1498515711 EAN: 9781498515719 ISBN: 9781498515719 Publisher: Lexington Books Format: Hardback Release Date: 24/12/2015 Description: Equality is a widely championed social ideal. But what is equality? And what action is required if present-day societies are to root out their inequalities?The Equal Society collects fourteen philosophical essays, each with a fresh perspective on these questions. The authors explore the demands of egalitarian justice, addressing issues of distribution and rectification, but equally investigating what it means for people to be equals as producers and communicators of knowledge or as members of subcultures, and considering what it would take for a society to achieve gender and racial equality.The essays collected here address not just the theory but also the practice of equality, arguing for concrete changes in institutions such as higher education, the business corporation and national constitutions, to bring about a more equal society.The Equal Society offers original approaches to themes prominent in current social and political philosophy, including relational equality, epistemic injustice, the capabilities approach, African ethics, gender equality and the philosophy of race. It includes new work by respected social and political philosophers.
