Louise Marcil-Lacoste, The dilemmas of equality
The problem of the relationships between equality and liberty * remains undecidable because of crucial dilemmas characterizing the relationships between two sorts of equality. Analyzing four rules by which the relationships between equality in general and equality in specific contexts are determined (completeness, common ground, despite all differences, negating inequalities), the study shows that an antithetical semantics opposing what is general and what is specific has been shaped in the logic of contemporary theories of equality to the point of falsifying the general presupposition of applicability. In turn, those dilemmas explain that the relationship between equality and liberty remain undecidable because of the superposition of two universalisation rules operating according to inverse specific functions.
