Distributive Justice and Evolution. Towards a Science of Equality

Paula Casal

Abstract


The paper offers reasons why distributive justice scholars should be interested in evolutionary science: it can help us understand, for example, the genetic and subsistence factors influencing our judgements about fair distributions, where our sense of property may come from, why freedom matters to certain creatures, and why we have fraternal and egalitarian sentiments and unequal societies.

Keywords


debunking explanations; freedom; equality; fraternity; property
