EQUALITY AND IDENTITY

This course will be focused on the political ideal of equality. We will pay special attention to

  1. The relation between ideas of equality, priority and sufficiency, or needs;
  2. The notion of equality of opportunity;
  3. The relation between equality, responsibility and luck; and
  4. Discrimination of given social groups or identities

As taught this semester, Phil 116 satisfies the ethics requirement for the philosophy major.
