Paper Summary:
An historical review of "equality". It traces the development of the concept through the works of philosophers and novelists in the 16th-21st centuries. It examines documents such as the Declaration of Independence, works of the philosophers in the Enlightenment and into modern day.From the paper:
"We have all heard the phrase ?all men are created equal? hundreds and probably even thousands of times in our lives, and precisely because we have heard them all so many times we do not in general attend carefully to what they mean. This paper examines briefly the merits of the statement that all men ? and we shall move beyond the exclusive language of the 18th century to include women also ? are created equally. In doing so, we will consider the phrase both literally and in the spirit that it was originally intended to be taken."
