PHIL 38.01 Equality, Justice, and Democracy

What is the nature of equality? How much does equality matter in ethics and politics? And why (if at all) does equality matter in the first place? This course concerns these and related questions about the role of equality in evaluating the social and political world. One of our central concerns will be how equality relates to other (purportedly important) ethical and political values, including justice, democracy, and freedom.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
