Sophia Reibetanz Moreau (University of Toronto Faculty of Law) has posted Equality and Discrimination (Draft Chapter for The Cambridge Companion to Philosophy of Law as of June 2016, Forthcoming) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This paper explores our expanding ideas about what kinds of rules and conduct constitute discrimination, and it presents and evaluates recent philosophical theories of discrimination. I argue that it is a mistake to appeal to only one value or one kind of action in ourexplanation of why discrimination is unfair: all such theories seem to omit important reasons that we have for caring about the elimination of discrimination. I then explore some of the questions that a successful pluralistic account of discrimination will have to address.
