Excerpt from The Concept of Equality: In the Writings of Rousseau, Bentham, and Kant
Another literary idealist? Dreams of an equality which will be the basis of the future society. To men in good society, he says, superiority and inferiority are intolerable. Good society requires that all meet on the footing of equality. When you come into a group as an invited guest you lay aside what claims you may have to distinction or superiority and take an attitude of equality with the other guests, because 'good society' so requires it. The equality of the future will be the enlargement of 'good society' to the whole of the human race.
