Reviews
'The literature on egalitarianism is a crowded one but, in her ambitious and engaging book, Christine Sypnowich is able to carve out a distinctive position that takes human flourishing to be central. She defends her novel egalitarian perfectionism by careful engagement with topical issues such as racial justice, gender equality, multiculturalism and liberal neutrality about the good. Equality Renewed is at once an original contribution to egalitarianism and a splendid analysis of the central debates of political philosophy.' -Kok-Chor Tan, University of Pennsylvania, USA
Equality Renewed will be of interest to a wide audience-including theorists who engage with questions of equality, difference, neutrality, and perfectionism-and will be a valuable resource for future debates concerning the role that the state should play in facilitating flourishing. -Paul Billingham, Ethics The literature on egalitarianism is a crowded one but, in her ambitious and engaging book, Christine Sypnowich is able to carve out a distinctive position that takes human flourishing to be central.
