DESCRIPTION:As the core premise of modern moral and political philosophy\,
 \nequality often demands more allegiance than investigation. The question 
 of its historical emergence as a social and political ideal is generally s
 et aside in favor of identifying the causal and constitutive harms of vari
 ous kinds of inequality - political\, social\, or economic. This talk will
  explore ideas of equality as a political principle\, a religious commitme
 nt\, and a social practice in seventeenth-century England. These fascinati
 ng but forgotten visions of "equality before egalitarianism" shed light on
  the development of a central concept in modern political thought while pr
 oviding some analytical clarity and historical insight sorely missing in c
 ontemporary debates.\n
