Social equality emerged as an approach in philosophy in the late 1990s, and is now a topic in most undergraduate courses in political philosophy. Its idea is that justice is not only a matter of distributing goods or welfare equally, but rather a matter of achieving a society in which individuals are on equal terms. The essays in The Equal Society aim to move the concept of social equality forward by exploring its connections with other areas of philosophy, such as the critical philosophy of race, and recognition theory. It examines how historical philosophy - Platonic, Kantian and African approaches to equality - can inform current thought. And it depicts how the social equality approach can be applied to equality in higher education, egalitarian social relations in the organisation of corporations, and the gendered division of labour. There has not yet been an essay collection dedicated specifically to social equality. The essays in this book are specifically written for this volume, by internationally renowned, leading scholars.
