Along with freedom, equality and justice are also important concepts in political science. All political philosophy can be built around these three concepts. Born: All individuals are as independent as they are political is an important assumption of philosophy. But the structure of medieval society was based on heterogeneity. In Europe, priests and priests had privileges. Just as the French Revolution was carried out by the people to gain freedom from the tyranny of the king, so it was against this heterogeneous social structure. That is why her slogan was 'Freedom, Equality and Brotherhood'.
There is a lot of controversy about the exact meaning of equality and justice. Whether she is rich or poor, well educated or uneducated, born in a high caste or low caste, the same law will apply to everyone. If anyone breaks it, it will be a crime and will be punished. Since the person of the state is considered a factor, in a democratic system, everyone will have the same vote. But equality is not equality. Nature has endowed each person with different qualities. So everyone needs an equal opportunity to develop their built-in qualities.
Whether or not this opportunity is used properly will create a heterogeneous society. This can happen because of the physical / intellectual capacity of everyone. But where the fruit is not more or less due to the inherent virtues, it is due to social or political inequality, it has to be said that it is unjust Equality and justice have such a close relationship. Let's look at the same thing with another body so that it becomes clearer.
Justice has to do with the distribution of goods and values. In principle, anyone will agree that the distribution of anything should be the most equal; But it is not always fair to do so. It is not fair to impose an equal annual tax of Rs.1,000 / - on the rich and the poor alike. It would be unfair to reverse this. Although it is odd to give a flute to someone who plays the flute, to give a book to someone who can read, and to give an ax to those who work hard, it cannot be said to be unjust. But it will only be fair if the two aspects of heterogeneous treatment the basis and the behavior are presented to each other. For example, it would be unreasonable and therefore unjust to take into account the number of family members in the distribution of foodgrains, even if it is fair and just to consider the distribution of foodgrains according to the caste, religion or height / color of the person.
Of course, there are differences of opinion as to which principle would be justified for value distribution. Marx considered it a just principle in the socialist system to pay everyone according to his work and to make him work according to his ability. Going even further, in the communist system, he felt that it was more justifiable for everyone to work according to his ability and for everyone to pay according to his needs. In a welfare state, it is considered fair to give freedom to others to get more. Let's stop this discussion by mentioning another argument. There is a perception that freedom and equality are contradictory concepts. It cannot be said to be completely false. In order to create regional equality, the government restricts the freedom to set up businesses in more advanced areas.
Also to reduce the inequality in the ownership of agricultural land At that time, it was inevitable to restrict the freedom of one's property. The question of how much freedom to spend to achieve equality is not a philosophical one but a political one.
