Równość oznacza, że nikt nie dominuje nad nikim, a nie że każdy dostaje taki sam udział – a nowoczesne miejsce pracy jest prywatnym rządem.

Filozofka-pragmatystka z Michigan: równość dotyczy relacji – nikt nikim nie dominuje – a nie podziału dóbr; miejsce pracy jest „prywatnym rządem”, którego liberalna teoria nie dostrzegła; pisała także o epistemologii feministycznej.

Dzieła

Stanowisko

Anderson’s article “What Is the Point of Equality?” criticised the “luck egalitarianism” of Dworkin, Arneson and Cohen, which holds that justice should compensate people for bad luck but not for their choices: it treats citizens as objects of pity and demands intrusive judgments of responsibility. Equality, she argues, is about social relations: a society in which no one is dominated, marginalised or treated as inferior, and all have the capabilities to function as equal citizens. “Private Government” argues that employers exercise a form of government over workers – dictating conduct inside and sometimes outside work, without accountability – which liberal political thought, fixated on the state, has failed to see.

Życie i kontekst

Elizabeth Anderson (born 1959) studied at Swarthmore College and took her doctorate at Harvard in 1987 under John Rawls. She has taught at the University of Michigan since then, where she is John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy and Women’s Studies. She received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2019. Her work combines political philosophy, ethics, social epistemology and the philosophy of the social sciences, and she identifies with the pragmatist tradition.
