Research on Cohen’s Marxist View of Equality

Abstract

Cohen’s Marxist view of equality is formed on the basis of criticizing liberals and classical Marxism. On the one hand, he opposes the equality thought of Rawls and Nozick, and on the other hand, he tries to establish a realistic and standardized Marxist view of equality. In addition, Cohen, while criticizing the arguments of the liberals, also constantly rethinks the classical Marxism on the concept of equality, and reconstructs the Marxist concept of equality to a certain extent. Dialectically speaking, although Cohen’s view of equality differs from the Marxist view of equality, it still plays a vital role in the construction of an equal society and the development of equality thought.
