«La société des égaux» is the political philosophy essay by Pierre Rosanvallon, published by Seuil in paperback (427 pages, in French).
Rosanvallon analyzes the rise in income and wealth inequality since the 1980s, which reverses the previous trend. He argues that the idea of equality has been exhausted and reviews two centuries of debates to refound it. He proposes conceiving it as a social relation, based on singularity, reciprocity and commonality, for a more active solidarity.
Published in 2011, the work belongs to the «Les Livres du nouveau monde» collection from Seuil. It falls within the genres of political philosophy and sociology, with themes such as equality, solidarity and democracy.
For readers interested in political and social philosophy and in current debates on inequality, justice and solidarity.
Pierre Rosanvallon is a French left historian and sociologist. He was named a professor at the Collège de France in 2001, holding the chair in modern and contemporary political history.
