yes of course, egalitarianism is vacuous!

im being a little flippant, i think hes actually making good ground, and i like that he draws attention to the deficiencies of naive and narrow forms. that being said, i don't think it can mangle itself into something viable

i see raz as largely clarifying men's (!!!) ideas as to the social and moral strifes of their own day

the discussion of the rhetorical uses of equality are good :)

"to the extent that one's ultimate goals tend, as they do, also to be one's most comprehensive goals it follows that in many cases one has no decisive reason for the goals one has which are independent of the face that one has them"

im digging the contextualism in the discussion of social forms
