Summary:

Egalitarianism, the view that equality matters, attracts a lot of attention amongst contemporary political theorists. This work considers various issues in the debate over equality - the distinction between 'telic' and 'deontic' egalitarianism; prioritarianism and the so-called 'levelling down objection' to egalitarianism; and more.
