G.W.F. Hegel on Equal Opportunities - Dictionary of Arguments
Rawls I 300 Equal Opportunity/Hegel/Rawls: Hegel believed that limitations of equal opportunities, e. g. the Primogeniture ((s) first-born successor, only the first-born receives the inheritance) were essential for securing the landowner class, which is suitable for rule. This enabled the class to fight for its independence from the state, its quest for profit and the fight against the adversities of civil society. (G. W. F. Hegel; Philosophy of Right, § 306, Oxford, 1942), p. 199. I 301 RawlsVsHegel: it is not enough to accept how Burke and Hegel did that these forms of inequality also benefited the poorer people. >Inequality, >Injustice, >Generational Justice. We would also have to accept as a condition that, by correcting these injustices, the prospects of those who are worse off would be further worsened. The argumentation that all would benefit would only apply if the lexical order of principles (processing in turn, See Principles/Rawls) were to be abolished. >Difference Principle._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
