Abstract
The American sciologist John Rawls of Harvard has influenced academic discussion by his argument that justice requires equality as a primary purpose of governent policy. The British philosopher Antony Flew, formerly of the University of Reading and currently teaching at the Social Philosophy and Policy Center of Bowling Green State University in Ohio, questions Rawls reasoning. He affirms that equality is not justice, a truth seen and expounded by the classical philosophers, but neglected by egalitarians.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
