Abstract

The concept of equality is mostly well known concept in social sciences and law, whereas it has a meaning of not discriminating any people in front of the laws. This study takes the concept of equality in the philosophical arguments of John Lock and Jean Jacques Rousseau. These two big thinkers played a crucial role in the development of philosophy and social sciences, as well as universal law understanding. Since the concept of the equality in those two thinkers represents the republican and liberal tradition, it gives an opportunity to compare the two big paradigms on the concept of equality. At the end of the study, the views of those two thinkers and paradigms were compared to each other on the basis of similarities and differences.
