Why did "equality" become prominent in European societies based on
hierarchy during the Enlightenment? What does "equality" imply for
societies, politics, or legal systems? The contributors to this
volume draw on various historical case studies, from visionary
practices in revolutionary France and the collection of data on the
poor in 19th-century Germany, to claims raised under the minority
regime of the League of Nations and the anti-discrimination
politics of the UN and India. The dynamics of universalizing
equality are contrasted with a concept asserting that equality must
be limited to and by order. The contributions thus explore concepts
of equality from the perspectives of history and law and show that
practices of comparing were essential when it came to imagining
others as equal, fighting discrimination, or scandalizing social
inequalities.
