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. 410 0$aNijhoff Studies in European Union Law$v14. 606 $aEquality before the law$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aDiscrimination$xLaw and legislation$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aEquality$xPhilosophy 606 $aDistributive justice 606 $aCultural pluralism 615 0$aEquality before the law 615 0$aDiscrimination$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aEquality$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aDistributive justice. 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 676 $a347.2401 700 $aLang$b Richard$g(Richard A.)$0930428 701 $aBell$b Mark$f1974-$0283390 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811560103321 996 $aComplex equality and the Court of Justice of the European Union$94103791 997 $aUNINA
