As has often been shown, this is a blunt tool, entrenching assumptions and promoting difference-blindness: the symptoms of simplicity. In this book, Richard Lang proposes that the EU’s judges complement the Aristotelian test with a new one based on Michael Walzer’s theory of Complex Equality, and illustrates how analysing allegedly discriminatory acts, not in terms of comparisons of the actors involved, but rather in terms of distributions and meanings of goods, would enable them to reach decisions with new dexterity and to resolve conflicts without sacrificing diversity.Nijhoff Studies in European Union Law14.Equality before the lawEuropean Union countriesDiscriminationLaw and legislationEuropean Union countriesEqualityPhilosophyDistributive justiceCultural pluralismEquality before the lawDiscriminationLaw and legislationEqualityPhilosophy.Distributive justice.Cultural pluralism.347.2401Lang Richard(Richard A.)930428Bell Mark1974-283390NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910811560103321Complex equality and the Court of Justice of the European Union4103791UNINA
