Equality in Historical Perspective
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The concept of equality has played and continues to play a fundamental role in the history of mankind. Man appeals to it in a host of contexts- moral, political, legal, economic, religious, educational and social. It is one of the most controversial of all concepts and understandably so, for attitudes and policies justified by reference to this concept or principle play a formative role in making our communities and societies, what they are, directly influencing our lives every day, given this role, clarity and understanding of this concept is vitally important, and yet confusion and misunderstanding of it abounds not only among layman, but among philosophers, political scientists, sociologists, theologians, economists, biologists, government leaders and so on. There is reason for this confusion, for the concept of equality is complex indeed and seems to embrace a family or cluster of ideas, each of which requires special analysis and examination. Furthermore, in the history of man, this concept has undergone considerable change and development. In this paper it is my little effort to explore how this concept has evolved till now.
