Özet:

 Equality is one of the main concepts of political philosophy. The debate on equality, along with its relationship with justice has been one of the fundamental topics of the politics and it is discussed within the framework of two modern political ideologies: Socialism which requires the equality of outcomes and liberalism defending the equality before the law. The criticism against the equality as an ideal and the egalitarianism has a basis worth discussing within the liberal and libertarian tradition especially on the arguments of the political liberal side and the criticism of the equality perspective of the political liberals. This study attempts to explain the main axis of the equality debate within the liberal and libertarian tradition besides presenting the distributive justice theory of John Rawls and its criticisms in a descriptive way. Drawing on the liberal tradition, this study seeks answer to the question of what the political-philosophical sources of is not defending equality. The main argument of this study is that the liberal and libertarian tradition has critiqued equality and egalitarianism by moving beyond the classical dichotomy of pragmatism and intuitionism, drawing on a set of arguments such as freedom, natural difference, rationality, division of labor, and the criticism of the distributive justice theory.

 Eşitlik, siyaset felsefesinin temel kavramlarından biridir. Eşitlik, adalet kaygısı ile eklemlenerek antik dönemden bu yana siyasetin temel konularından birisi olagelmiş ve günümüzde iki modern siyasal ideoloji perspektifinden tartışılmaktadır: Sonuçların eşitliği anlamında sosyalist eşitlik ve yasalar önünde eşitlik bağlamında liberal eşitlik. Eşitlik ideali ve eşitlikçilik eleştirisi ise liberal ve liberteryen düşünce geleneği içinde, özellikle siyasal liberal tarafın argümanları ve bu argümanların eleştirisi üzerinden tartışmaya değer bir alan bulmuştur. Bu çalışma liberal ve liberteryen düşünce geleneği içerisindeki eşitlikçilik tartışmasının ana hatlarını ortaya koymayı amaçlamakta ve bu bağlamda John Rawlsun dağıtımcı adalet teorisinin etkisini, ayrıca siyaset felsefesinde eşitlikçilik eleştirisinin hangi argümanlar temelinde şekillendiğini betimlemektedir. Liberal ve liberteryen düşünce literatüründen hareketle, bu çalışma Eşitliği savunmamanın siyasal-felsefi temelleri nedir? sorusuna yanıt aramaktadır. Çalışmanın temel savı, liberal ve liberteryen düşünürlerin eşitlikçilik eleştirilerini klasik faydacısezgici yaklaşımının ötesine geçerek özgürlük, doğal farklılık, rasyonellik, toplumsal iş bölümü ve dağıtımcı adalet eleştirisi gibi birtakım ortak argümanlar çerçevesinde gerçekleştirmiş olduklarıdır.
