Abstract
In Faces of Inequality, Sophia Moreau offers a pluralist theory of discrimination, according to which discriminatory conduct involves one or more of (at least) three types of wrong. She claims, further, that each of these wrongs represents a failure to treat some people as the equal of others. I argue that this further claim is mistaken. I also suggest that there may be no need for a pluralist theory of discrimination to identify a property that is shared by the different types of wrong recognised by the theory (beyond the fact that each is present in cases of wrongful discrimination).
索菲亚-莫罗(Sophia Moreau)在《不平等的面孔》(Faces of Inequality)一书中提出了一种多元歧视理论,认为歧视行为涉及(至少)三种错误中的一种或多种。她还声称,每一种错误都代表着没有将某些人视为与其他人平等的人。我认为这种进一步的说法是错误的。我还认为,多元歧视理论可能没有必要确定该理论所承认的不同类型的不法行为所共有的属性(除了在不法歧视案件中每种不法行为都存在这一事实之外)。
