Egalitarianism: New Essays on the Nature and Value of Equality, Nils Holtug and Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen (eds)

摘要

treated largely independently of each other. This is clearly reflected in the present anthology with papers from a conference held in Copenhagen in 2004. The fact that the editors have inserted a few cross references cannot conceal that the twelve papers hardly refer to the same issues. The editors have written a very informative introduction, which presents some of the main lines of the recent debate on egalitarianism. Some of the papers relate only marginally to the development described in the introduction. However, this is much preferable to the more usual kind of introduction that attempts to construct a superficial connection between the papers in an anthology.
