A igualdade liberal

Abstract

Recently, researchers at the Constitutional philosophy have enriched the debate on liberal justice, seeking to solve justice issues, especially how to balance private individual choice with the public responsibility of the state to ensure the equality of all in order to achieve a society fairer. Some theories seek to answer these questions. Thinkers such as Stuart Mill, John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin, Michael Walzer and Nozick are examples of how currents of utilitarian thinking, conservative, liberal, post-liberal and community prepare different ideas about what is a just society, where the fair is the search for the same. But most of them, particularly more contemporary, it has a concern with the formal equality, considering the influence of past situations as unacceptable sources present inequalities that can not be overlooked in the distribution of justice. It is in this context search of philosophical justification for an ideal of justice that they have, likewise, been trying to define the objectives of the constitutional principle of equality, and for adoption by the State Powers.
