  • A new map of censorship

    Ronald DworkinCHAPTERMedia, Journalism and Democracy2018

    Catharine MacKinnon and her allies failed in the USA: the courts held their statute unconstitutional. But they persuaded the Canadian legislature to adopt a severe censorship law, and the law was upheld against constitutional challenge. Index was founded in the conviction: that freedom of speech, along with the allied freedoms of conscience and religion, are fundamental human rights that the world community has a responsibility to guard. A commun…

  • What is Equality? Part 1: Equality of Welfare

    Ronald DworkinCHAPTERNotion of Equality2018

    Equality is a popular but mysterious political ideal. This chapter discusses one aspect of that question, which might be called the problem of distributional equality. Suppose It considers two general theories of distributional equality. The first holds that a distributional scheme treats people as equals when it distributes or transfers resources among them until no further transfer would leave them more equal in welfare. The second holds that i…

  • Justice for Hedgehogs

    Open AccessRonald DworkinBOOKJustice for Hedgehogs2011

    The fox knows many things, the Greeks said, but the hedgehog knows one big thing. In his most comprehensive work Ronald Dworkin argues that value in all its forms is one big thing: that what truth is, life means, morality requires, and justice demands are different aspects of the same large question. He develops original theories on a great variety of issues very rarely considered in the same book: moral skepticism, literary, artistic, and histor…

  • O que é uma vida boa: Aborto, eutanásia e liberdades individuais

    Open AccessRonald DworkinBOOKRevista Direito GV2011

    Neste artigo, derivado de seu livro "Justice for Hedgehogs", Ronald Dworkin explora a relação entre moral e ética, argumentando que ambas estão intrinsecamente conectadas. Dworkin defende que uma vida boa é aquela vivida de acordo com princípios morais e éticos, distinguindo entre "viver bem" (ter experiências prazerosas) e "ter uma vida boa" (viver com integridade e autenticidade). Ele aplica essa estrutura conceitual a questões complexas como a…

  • Igualdade como ideal

    Na entrevista a seguir, o filósofo e jurista norte-americano Ronald Dworkin discorre sobre temas recorrentes em sua obra. Ele reafirma que a igualdade de riquezas em si não tem jamais valor intrínseco e esclarece a natureza e as implicações práticas do "seguro hipotético" - sua complexa construção teórica para a implementação do ideal da igualdade no campo econômico

  • Is Democracy Possible Here?: Principles for a New Political Debate

    Ronald DworkinBOOKIs Democracy Possible Here?2006

    Politics in America are polarized and trivialized, perhaps as never before. In Congress, the media, and academic debate, opponents from right and left, the Red and the Blue, struggle against one another as if politics were contact sports played to the shouts of cheerleaders. The result, Ronald Dworkin writes, is a deeply depressing political culture, as ill equipped for the perennial challenge of achieving social justice as for the emerging threa…

  • What is Equality? Part 4: Political Equality

    Ronald DworkinCHAPTERPhilosophy and democracy2003

    In a series of essays, I have been studying the idea of equality beginning in a principle—the abstract egalitarian principle—that states the idea in its most abstract form. This principle stipulates that government must act to make the lives of citizens better, and must act with equal concern for the life of each member. We reach a useful, practical theory about what equality requires by constructing and testing concrete interpretations—conceptio…

    Les États peuvent protéger les individus qui prendraient la décision d’abréger leur vie de manière irrationnelle ou passagère, sans disposer de tous les éléments ou sous la contrainte, et, à cette fin, les États peuvent donc encadrer et limiter l’aide que les médecins sont autorisés à apporter à des individus exprimant le désir de mourir. Ils ne sont cependant pas en droit de refuser aux individus la possibilité de démontrer, au moyen d’une procé…
