"Jacques Ranci re's work has challenged many of the assumptions of contemporary continental philosophy by placing equality at the forefront of emancipatory political thought and aesthetics. Drawing on the claim that egalitarian politics persistently appropriates elements from political philosophy to engage new forms of dissensus, Devin Zane Shaw argues that Ranci re's work also provides an opportunity to reconsider modern philosophy and aesthetics in light of the question of equality. In Part I, Shaw examines Ranci re's philosophical debts to the 'good sense' of Cartesian egalitarianism and the existentialist critique of identity. In Part II, he outlines Ranci re's critical analyses of Walter Benjamin and Clement Greenberg and offers a reinterpretation of Ranci re's debate with Alain Badiou in light of the philosophical differences between Schiller and Schelling. From engaging debates about political subjectivity from Descartes to Sartre, to delineating the egalitarian stakes in aesthetics and the philosophy of art from Schiller to Badiou, this book presents a concise tour through a series of egalitarian moments found within the histories of modern philosophy and aesthetics."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Politische Maßnahmen zur Gleichstellung im Beruf gibt es viele aber warum fehlt ihnen noch immer der durchschlagende Erfolg? Welche Dynamiken wirken bei der Implementierung und Durchsetzung dieser Maßnahmen, und wie können Gleichstellungspolitiken künftig besser konzipiert und abgestimmt werden? Um Antworten auf diese Fragen zu finden, untersuchen die Autorinnen vergleichend die Strukturen und Maßnahmen betrieblicher Gleichstellungspolitik öffentlicher Arbeitgeber am Beispiel der Bundesverwaltungen in der Schweiz, Deutschland und Österreich. This, together with the comparisons and the case studies, makes the book an indispensable and valuable information source for administrative employees, supervisors, trade unionists, NGOs and equality researchers as well as equality activists and politicians. Swiss Political Science Review, 31.07.2017 Eine sehr detaillierte Studie, die in allen drei untersuchten Ländern wichtige Einblicke in die Gleichstellungsaktivitäten öffentlicher und privater Arbeitgeberinnen und Arbeitgeber bietet und Ansätze für Weiterentwicklungen aufzeigt.

Equality is a key concept in our moral and political vocabulary. There is wide agreement on its instrumental value and its favourable impact on many aspects of society, but less certainty over whether it has a non-instrumental or intrinsic value that can be demonstrated. In this project, Shlomi Segall explores and defends the view that it does. He argues that the value of equality is not reducible to a concern we might have for the worse off, or to ensuring that individuals do not fall into poverty and destitution; instead he claims that undeserved inequalities, wherever and whenever we might find them, are bad in themselves. Assessing the strength of competing accounts, such as sufficientarianism and prioritarianism, he brings together for the first time discussions of the moral value of equality with luck- or responsibility-sensitive accounts of distributive justice. His book will interest readers in political and moral philosophy.
