One Anothers Equals by Jeremy Waldron
An enduring theme of Western philosophy is that we are all one anothers equals. Yet the principle of basic equality is woefully under-explored in modern moral and political philosophy. What does it mean to say we are all one anothers equals? Jeremy Waldron confronts this question fully and unflinchingly in a major new multifaceted account.
[An] important new book…[This] insightful book suggest[s] that if we don’t recommit ourselves to political equality, we will become ever more closed, authoritarian societiesEconomic elites should understand this…Without equality, the West cannot last. -- Robert B. Reich * New York Times Book Review *
If basic human equality is now agreed on, perhaps it would be best just to accept it and not bother about its justification. Yet, as Jeremy Waldron makes clear in One Another’s Equals, his Gifford Lectures, to have a proper debate about what kind of political arrangements equality requires we first need to fix ideas about what it amounts to. -- Michael Rosen * Times Literary Supplement *
This highly original and important book provides a thorough and sophisticated treatment of an issue that is of fundamental importance in moral and political philosophy, but which has not received sufficient attention or defense in recent years. The book should set the standard for further discussion of these very difficult issues for years to come. -- Samuel Freeman, Avalon Professor of the Humanities and Graduate Chair of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania
Waldron writes on the topic of human equality with grace, intelligence, and passion. One Another’s Equals provides an argument intelligible to general readers that also advances the philosophical discussion in ways that will warrant response from philosophers, political theorists, legal scholars, and theologians. -- Jeffrey Stout, Princeton University
