Equality is the endangered species of political ideas. Even left-of-centre politicians reject equality as an ideal: government must combat poverty, they say, but need not strive that its citizens be equal in any dimension. In this new book the author insists, to the contrary, that equality is the indispensable virtue of democratic sovereignty. A legitimate government must treat all its citizens as equals, that is, with equal respect and concern, and, since the economic distribution that any society achieves is mainly the consequence of its system of law and policy, that requirement imposes serious egalitarian constraints on that distribution. What distribution of a nation's wealth is demanded by equal concern for all? Dworkin draws upon two fundamental humanist principles - first, it is of equal objective importance that all human lives flourish, and second, each person is responsible for defining and achieving the flourishing of his or her own life - to ground his well-known thesis that true equality means equality in the value of the resources that each person commands, not in the success he or she achieves. Equality, freedom, and individual responsibility are therefore not in conflict, but flow from and into one another as facets of the same humanist conception of life and politics. Since no abstract political theory can be understood except in the context of actual and complex political issues, the author develops his thesis by applying it to heated contemporary controversies about the distribution of health care, unemployment benefits, campaign finance reform, affirmative action, assisted suicide, and genetic engineering.

Ch. 1-2. 第一章真是又臭又长，磨磨唧唧老半天，就是为第二章做铺垫。第二章倒是颇为精彩，通过auction和insurance的thought experiment阐释了resourcism。对罗尔斯的engagement也比较到位，更指出了option的重要性。但是文法实在是太差了，一点儿也不reader-friendly，这一点可比老罗差远了…

德沃金在这里对分配正义的问题有非常精细的讨论。我非常喜欢他第一、二章的写法，全面、深入和清晰。从第一章可以看到罗尔斯做哲学的风格对德沃金的影响。

Worthwhile attempt to interpret equality through market approach. Not very reader-friendly though.

当我意识到对于德沃金来说保险是一个meta层面的思想试验式的东西时，我就不觉得他无聊了。
