Equality Renewed by Christine Sypnowich

How should we approach the daunting task of renewing the ideal of equality? In this book, Christine Sypnowich proposes a theory of equality centred on human flourishing, living well, or wellbeing.

'A helpful overview of many central debates in contemporary political philosophy… Sypnowich charts an interesting and perceptive course through the terrain…Equality Renewed will be of interest to a wide audience – including theorists who engage with questions of equality, difference, neutrality and perfectionism – and will be a valuable resource for future debates concerning the role that the state should play in facilitating flourishing' —Paul Billingham, Ethics

'Sypnowich’s engagement with many of the debates in contemporary political philosophy is outstanding… an excellent piece of contemporary political philosophy. It engages with many interesting debates and very impressively, draws from a range of material… Sypnowich has done an exceptional job stoking the debates that are currently taking place.' —Christopher Riddle, Philosophy in Review

'The literature on egalitarianism is a crowded one but, in her ambitious and engaging book, Christine Sypnowich is able to carve out a distinctive position that takes human flourishing to be central. She defends her novel "egalitarian perfectionism" by careful engagement with topical issues such as racial justice, gender equality, multiculturalism and liberal neutrality about the good. Equality Renewed is at once an original contribution to egalitarianism and a splendid analysis of the central debates of political philosophy.' —Kok-Chor Tan , University of Pennsylvania
