`Review from previous edition In this carefully argued and thought
provoking new book, Thomas Christiano offers a novel defense of
democracy's intrinsic value EL[many] stand to profit from engaging
with The Constitution of Equality'
David Lefkowitz, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
`In the literature of political theory it is widely held that the
ideals of democracy and liberal rights are in tension. Famously,
Issiah Berlin argued that this tension should be accepted as a
result of value pluralism. Thomas Christiano's The Constitution of
Equality offers an extremely original, insightful and important
break with this widely accepted understanding ... a major
achievement in democratic theory.'
Corey Brettschneider, Journal of Politics
