## Metadata - Author: [[Jeremy Waldron]] - Full Title: One Another’s Equals - Category: #books ## Highlights - We can say that respect is due to humanity as such, and so are consideration and concern. We do not have to use the eight letter string “e-q-u-a-l-i-t-y.” But that word does have the additional and important resonance of indicating the sort of heritage we are struggling against and the heritage of struggling against it. We believe in a profound respect due to humanity, and we maintain that belief in the face of those who claim that there are different kinds of human or that humanity admits of unequal degrees. Words remind us of movements. And “equality” reminds us of that movement in our civilization. ([Location 1292](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B072FTTHDZ&location=1292))
