Ever since the publication of G. A. Cohen’s essay “If You’re an Egalitarian, How Come You’re So Rich?” the matter of personal responsibility for the amelioration of economic disadvantage has become a question for egalitarian political philosophers to wrestle with both theoretically and personally. This essay examines “the demands of equality” in light of an egalitarian philosophy that focuses on human flourishing. I consider Cohen’s call for personal commitments to the egalitarian project to show both the power and problems of his approach and propose an alternative view, where individuals’ concern for living well involves an engagement with the demands of equality, but also some respite from its strictures.

平等的要求

自从 GA Cohen 的文章《如果你是一个平等主义者，你为什么这么富有？》发表以来。改善经济劣势的个人责任问题已成为平等主义政治哲学家在理论上和个人上努力解决的问题。本文根据关注人类繁荣的平等主义哲学探讨了“平等的要求”。我认为科恩呼吁个人对平等主义项目做出承诺，以展示他的方法的力量和问题，并提出另一种观点，即个人对美好生活的关注涉及到平等的要求，但也包括摆脱平等的限制。 。
