How Does Equality Relate to the Other Virtues?

The value of equality is a cornerstone of modern politics and forms the basis for many rights-claims. But, “equality” is said in many ways, and each version of equality is in conflict with the others. In this seminar, students at the University of Dallas are invited to discuss the history of the principles of equality, and the role of equality in a society that secures individual rights while promoting genuine happiness and the common good.

 

All students will receive a copy of Phillipe Bénéton’s Equality by Default, which they will read ahead of the seminar. Dinner will be provided at Whiskey Cake in Las Colinas!

Reach out to Tom Sarrouf at tsarrouf@isi.org with any questions or concerns.
