Notes

The article "Radical Egalitarian Justice: Justice as Equality" written by Kai Nielsen talks about the concept of radical egalitarianism, which focuses on the idea that all people should have equal opportunities and resources, regardless of their social class, race, or gender. The article raises questions about how to achieve justice and equality in society, and how to overcome the inequalities that exist. It questions the traditional idea of justice as simply providing equal treatment to everyone, and instead argues for a more radical approach to justice, where everyone has equal access to resources and opportunities. To answer these questions, Nielsen proposes that we need to adopt a radical egalitarian approach to justice. This approach would involve creating a society where everyone has equal access to resources such as healthcare, education, and housing, and where social and economic inequalities are minimized as much as possible. Overall, the author argues that by adopting this radical egalitarian approach, we can create a fairer and more just society where everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or social status.
