This book is an account of the concept of equality from the
perspective of both theory and practice, and presents methods of
quantifying values. It considers both arguments and evidence, and
tackles equality in its different forms, including economic
equality, education, equality before the law, equality of
opportunity, and gender equality. The book shows that inequality is
a profoundly moral question, noting that there are good practical
reasons for its adoption. It presents a consideration of classical
theories from Aristotle to Hume, as well as contemporary approaches
such as those offered by Rawls, Haidt, Temkin, and Parfit. It also
contemplates issues such as the naturalistic fallacy, and considers
what is different about the Goleman view of moral sensitivity and
the ethical personality. The array of evidence includes the impact
of climate and various plants such as sugar and cotton on the slave
trade, the concept of Gaia, Darwinism, sex inequality, personality,
culture, psychological issues, and the quantification of ethics.
The book concludes with some practical suggestions for improving
equality. It aims to raise awareness of the ways in which equality
can be understood, and achieved. It will be relevant to students
and scholars in philosophy, human rights, and law.
