Includes Bibliographical References And Index. Electronic Reproduction. Ann Arbor, Mi Available Via World Wide Web.
This book investigates the moral foundations of wrongful discrimination by proposing a theory that centers on the concept of unfair subordination. Sophia Reibetanz Moreau, a professor of law and philosophy, utilizes a normative framework to argue that discrimination is wrongful when it denies individuals the deliberative freedom necessary to participate as equals in society. She examines how institutional structures and social practices create barriers to basic goods, thereby undermining the fundamental duty to treat others as equals.
