Concept information
Preferred term
complex equality
Definition
- Michael Walzer in his book Spheres of Justice suggests that power and domination can be avoided if a society promotes complex equality. His definition of complex equality states: no social good x should be distributed to men and to women who possess some other good y merely because they possess y and without regard to the meaning of x.
