Description

Paul Sagar offers a provocative approach to explaining and justifying basic equality in this innovative work. He argues that our commitment to treating others as equals is the result of practice, rather than an independent foundation.

Sagar synthesises philosophy, history, and psychology to explore why we ought to believe in basic equality. Drawing insights from these fields, he examines how Western societies have come to value equality over inequality in a remarkably short period.

By understanding the historical development of this idea, Sagar sheds light on what is at stake when human beings treat one another as equals. This thought-provoking work challenges readers to consider the nature of our moral and political commitments.
