Description
Equality as a Commitment to Ourselves and Others The idea that all men are created equal has been a cornerstone of human rights for centuries. However, this notion of equality is often based on the assumption of a shared human nature, which can lead to exclusions and gradations of difference. In "Unconditional Equals", Anne Phillips challenges this approach, arguing that true equality cannot be justified by reference to natural characteristics. Instead, Phillips proposes a genuinely unconditional equality, where individuals enact their status as equals when they refuse to be considered inferior. Drawing on political, feminist, and postcolonial theory, the book makes a powerful case for understanding equality as a commitment we make to ourselves and others. This approach is particularly relevant today, when the supposedly shared belief in human equality is not universally accepted. By reframing our understanding of equality, "Unconditional Equals" offers a compelling vision for a more inclusive and equitable society.
