Summer 2024 Course Highlight:

 

PHIL 4117, S10: What is Equality?

Friday, 1-4pm, Surrey Campus

Instructor: Dr. Holly Longair

Description: Equality, inequality, justice, and injustice are terms that we find everywhere in every day discussions of contemporary social and political issues. But what does it mean to talk about equality in the context of our social and political world? This course will examine a variety of ways in which contemporary philosophers have conceptualized equality, and some of the problems that result from the theories that they have built. Beginning with selections from John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice, we will look at several approaches in the liberal egalitarian tradition that have built on his work, as well as critiques of those theories from libertarians, feminists, and others. We will finish the semester by looking at approaches to the concept of equality from other traditions outside of Western liberalism, and ask ourselves what we really mean when we say people should be treated as equals.
