Abstract

In this article, Professor John Kane tries to show that if inequality of treatment has to be morally justified, it is no less true that so does equality of treatment. One is no more fundamental than the other. If it is clear that differential social advantage has to be morally justified, it is nevertheless true that an even distribution of advantage will also need justification, for it would be absurd to imagine that injustice could never possibly be done by such a distribution.
