Discrimination, understood as differential treatment of individuals on the basis of their respective group memberships, is widely considered to be morally wrong. 1 This moral judgment is backed up in many jurisdictions with the passage of equality of opportunity legislation, which aims to ensure that racial, ethnic, religious, sexual, sexual orientation, disability and other groups are not subjected to discrimination. This chapter explores the conceptual underpinnings of discrimination and equality of opportunity using the tools of analytical moral and political philosophy.
