Are the political ideals of liberty and equality compatible? This
question is of central and continuing importance in political
philosophy, moral philosophy, and welfare economics. In this book,
two distinguished philosophers take up the debate. Jan Narveson
argues that a political ideal of negative liberty is incompatible
with any substantive ideal of equality, while James P. Sterba
argues that Narveson's own ideal of negative liberty is compatible,
and in fact leads to the requirements of a substantive ideal of
equality. Of course, they cannot both be right. Thus, the details
of their arguments about the political ideal of negative liberty
and its requirements will determine which of them is right.
Engagingly and accessibly written, their debate will be of value to
all who are interested in the central issue of what are the
practical requirements of a political ideal of liberty.
