Renoncer à l'égalité ?

Résumé 0

Against feminism's critique of the abstract and formal character of the institutions of "equal citizenship" and its attribution of a political significance to gender difference, M.P. argues that those institutions are the very foundation of political modernity. Considering the exclusivism of liberalism, he wonders why feminism demands, beyond the conquests of a real political universality, an inverted system of discrimination, an "unequal right", which endangers the equality before the law, equal access to public positions, and the rousseauian principle of merit as opposed to the privileges of birth. Against this new corporatism he advocates the necessary universality of the political project and the democratic value of equality.
