Pressezitat
“Charvet sets out to provide us with not only a detailed account of basic equality and where it originates, but also to present us with a new and unique account of how basic equality and egalitarian political ethics, that is the equal distribution of equal rights and duties amongst free citizens, go together. … Charvet’s book is an intriguing read for all those interested in questions of basic equality … .” (Fabian Schuppert, Res Publica, Vol. 22, 2016)
