Sommario/riassunto

The Equal Society collects fourteen new scholarly essays by established and emerging researchers on the topic of equality-including new work by Ann E. Cudd, Miranda Fricker, Charles W. Mills and Jonathan Wolff. The authors address political, legal and ethical aspects of their subject, and provide fresh perspectives on 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.
