On the Affinities and Differences between Rousseau's and Marx's Ideas of Equality——A Study Based on MEGA2
Rousseau advocates proportional equality,linking income and social status to individual contributions,whereas Marx argues for a deeper equality considering social relations.The MEGA2 bibliography highlights Marx's"special attention"in Rousseau's equality.Marx extracted discussions from Rousseau in his notes on Kreuznach,particularly emphasizing Rousseau's view on laws perpetuating inequality.Engels'"high praise"of Rousseau's e-qual thought in On the Anti Dühring was also recognized by Marx.However,their ideas differ fundamentally:Rous-seau tackles inequality morally,advocating legislative and educational solutions,while Marx sees it rooted in pro-ductivity and production relations.
