The Center for Ethics and Human Values Presents: “What’s Wrong With Inequality?” (2 points)
Tuesday, April 11, 4:00-5:30 pm
Avoidance of inequality is one of the important social values which have been championed for a long time. This ethical judgment has become particularly relevant in the contemporary world both (1) because of the growing visibility of persistent inequality, and (2) because of a greater understanding of the need to justify social features that conflict with our values, especially in democratic societies. However, we have to ask: why does inequality appear socially unreasonable to us at all? Among the many answers to this question, at least three would stand out. Learn more and RSVP here
