Inequality

"Brilliant and fascinating....No other book on egalitarianism offers its readers anywhere near as much as this one....The clarity of Temkin's distinction between genuine egalitarianism and extended humanitarianism marks the end of egalitarianism as a coherent practical political doctrine."--Times Literary Supplement "A cornucopian book--dense, wide-ranging, and insightful, filled with fascinating diversions and detail... immensely valuable. It classifies and analyzes egalitarian principles more deftly and usefully than any work before it...a trove that philosophers and economists can profitably mine even if they reject some of Temkin's principal claims. It is an extraordinary achievement."--Economics and Philosophy "Those interested in moral egalitarianism will... have to begin thinking about the questions Temkin raises, and think about them in Temkin's way."--Canadian Journal of Philosophy "Brilliant and fascinating....No other book on egalitarianism offers its readers anywhere near as much as this one....The clarity of Temkin's distinction between genuine egalitarianism and extended humanitarianism marks the end of egalitarianism as a coherent practical political doctrine."--Times Literary Supplement "A cornucopian book--dense, wide-ranging, and insightful, filled with fascinating diversions and detail... immensely valuable.
