The aim of the paper is to draft an outline of how an egalitarian \njustification of affirmative action might look like. I do so by \ninjecting the ideas of parity, equal representation and participation \ninto what has been established within the US philosophical debate on the\n policy. An egalitarian justification of affirmative action has to \nanswer four questions, which, at the same time, structure the argument \nof my paper. First, I will consider whether and to what extent \naffirmative action measures are compatible with procedural fairness or \nmay be even required by it, and which role equality plays in this \nconnection. In the second paragraph, I will introduce a substantive \naccount of equal opportunity and analyze how the policies in questions \nmay contribute to the realization of this meritocratic ideal. In a third\n step, I will try to make sense of parity, equal representation and \nparticipation by connecting them to a concept of political equality, \nagain, asking how affirmative action fits the bill. Finally, I explore \nthe connections (and tensions) between procedural fairness, equal \nopportunity and parity and situate these ideas within a broader \nframework of democratic or relational equality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
