EQUALITY, HIERARCHY, AND GLOBAL JUSTICE
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 January 2006
Abstract
Western liberal societies are described by a mix of two contrasting ethical presuppositions, that which commences from a perspective that views persons as natural equals and that which commences from a perspective that classifies persons hierarchically. Differences in this mix among separate polities may create difficulties as principles of justice are extended across national boundaries in response to continuing globalization.
