Justice & Fairness “All equals should be treated equally.” -Aristotle

The Principle States: "Treat people the same unless there are morally relevant differences between them.“

He was the most notable product of the educational program devised by Plato. A famous Greek Philosopher Aristotle

John Rawls Harvard Philosopher Two Rules:  Each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive basic liberty compatible with similar liberty for others.  Social and Economic inequalities are to be arranged so that they are both: a) reasonably expected to be to everyone’s advantage and b) attached to positions and offices open to all.

Difference between Aristotle & Rawls  Aristotle :Equality amongst each other  Rawls: Social balance

Problem (s) with Justice Approach  We may not always agree on who is equal  Who gets to decide who is equal  Who constitutes fairness

Questions to think about:  Would you consider an 18 year old an equal adult?  Do you consider an immigrant equal compared to a natural born citizen?
