Equality is a key concept in our moral and political vocabulary.
There is wide agreement on its instrumental value and its
favourable impact on many aspects of society, but less certainty
over whether it has a non-instrumental or intrinsic value that can
be demonstrated. In this project, Shlomi Segall explores and
defends the view that it does. He argues that the value of equality
is not reducible to a concern we might have for the worse off, or
to ensuring that individuals do not fall into poverty and
destitution; instead he claims that undeserved inequalities,
wherever and whenever we might find them, are bad in themselves.
Assessing the strength of competing accounts, such as
sufficientarianism and prioritarianism, he brings together for the
first time discussions of the moral value of equality with luck- or
responsibility-sensitive accounts of distributive justice. His book
will interest readers in political and moral philosophy.
