This book makes a significant contribution to the tradition of
liberal political theory: it explores the foundations and limits of
the idea of equality within that theory and offers a sustained
argument for a persuasive new view of liberalism. Liberal thinking
has always displayed a tension between the claims of liberty and
those of equality. Professor Gutmann examines the contributions of
liberal theorists from Locke to Rawls on the subject of two kinds
of equality - equality of opportunity to participate and the equal
distribution of economic goods. Valuing both, she shows that, far
from being alternatives, the two ideals are compatible to a much
greater degree than has previously been thought. Liberal Equality
restores egalitarianism to political theory in a way that will
forcefully challenge its critics to deeper reflection.
