Equality from first principles?
Mar. 22nd, 2010 10:39 amSo ... how about axioms-based equality laws? Where should the lines lay in law for illegal discrimiation?
For example, if the core tasks of a job require the employee to do X, and a candidate for that job cannot currently do X, nor reasonably be expected to be able to do X even with realistic training, technological support etc., then it would presumably be justifiable not to consider them further for employment.
Where can we draw legal lines from first principles?
What would be your fundamental determining principles for when differential treatment is justified?
