DALL'AGNOL, Darlei. Dworkin's liberal egalitarianism.Translated byMilene Consenso Tonetto. Kriterion [online]. 2006, vol.2Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0100-512X.

This paper sorts out the main elements in Dworkin's political philosophy called here "liberal egalitarianism". To reach this aim, it reconstructs his legal theory and his understanding of citizens' most fundamental right, namely the right to equal concern and respect. Moreover, it analyzes his attempt to reconcile this formal equality, as well as a more substantial equality, with freedom.
