Abstract

"The Logic of Egalitarian Norms" was prompted by a recent article by Christopher J. Peters, "Equality Revisited," 110 Harv. L. Rev. 1210 (1997), arguing that the concept of equality is self-contradictory and sometimes leads to absurd results, such as the multiplication of wrongs or wasteful "leveling down" of social benefits. Peters' view is shared by other recent skeptical commentators who question the value of egalitarian norms or who worry that such norms are often misleading. The article defends egalitarian logic against such skepticism in a wide variety of legal domains.

平等主义规范的逻辑

“平等主义规范的逻辑”是由克里斯托弗·j·彼得斯最近的一篇文章“重新审视平等”引发的。L. Rev. 1210(1997)，认为平等的概念是自相矛盾的，有时会导致荒谬的结果，例如错误的倍增或浪费的“降低”社会福利。彼得斯的观点得到了最近其他持怀疑态度的评论家的认同，他们质疑平等主义规范的价值，或者担心这种规范往往具有误导性。本文在广泛的法律领域为平等主义逻辑辩护，反对这种怀疑主义。
