Description

Equal Freedom: Selected Tanner Lectures on Human Values explores two fundamental concepts in contemporary political debate: freedom and equality. This collection of essays by distinguished thinkers critiques libertarianism, arguing that the ideas of freedom and equality are part of a shared justificatory ideal from which any rights-specifying norms would have to be derived.

Each essay proposes a distinctive vision of this fundamental ideal, with authors such as John Rawls, T. M. Scanlon, G. A. Cohen, Ronald Dworkin, and Amartya Sen advancing different versions of liberal egalitarianism. Quentin Skinner also critiques libertarianism, arguing that it tends to support egalitarian principles.

This collection offers a nuanced exploration of the complex relationship between freedom and equality, inviting readers to consider the moral and political implications of these fundamental values.
