This essay aims at reconstructing some core practical and theore-tical aspects of Egalitarianism. It explores its political significance by looking at its historical dimension and studies the philosophi-cal nuances of the egalitarian philosophical debate by focusing on the ideals of both relational and distributive equality. The works raises intuitions on whether principles other than that of distri-butive equality can be enforced for securing individuals to relate as equals. The main aim of the essay is to provide a deep under-standing of the way one should see the egalitarian goal today, that is a goal which embraces equality both in relational and distribu-tive terms.
