Guest: Professor Jonathan Wolff
\nHost: Filip Balunovic<\/p>\n
The guest in the 27th episode of „Zvuk misli“ is Professor Jonathan Wolff, a political philosopher from Oxford University. We hosted him as one of the three keynote speakers at the „Change“ conference. In our conversation, we focused on the topics that preoccupy him the most, such as issues of equality and justice.
\nWe discussed the difference between redistributive and social inequality, with Professor Wolff explaining his focus on the latter. The discussion then moved towards problematizing one of the most well-known, if not the most well-known, theories of justice, that of John Rawls. How should we understand the „veil of ignorance“? Is it fair to have as much inequality as guarantees benefits to the least advantaged? And why might this „wonderful argument“ be applicable or not to reality?
\nWe also talked about the concept of „meritocracy“, how the concept of „equality of opportunity“ functions or does not function in today’s context, and whether self-realization and life satisfaction are possible without competition and „winning“. We questioned whether a classless society is the only possible framework for self-realization without competition, or if this can be achieved within a class society.
\nFinally, we touched upon Wolff’s latest co-authored book, „City of Equals“, which explores a set of values that would make a city a city of equals. These are just some of the questions we addressed in this incredibly interesting conversation.<\/p>\n

Gost u 27. epizodi „Zvuka misli“ je profesor D\u017eonatan Volf, politi\u010dki filozof sa Oksford Univerziteta. Ugostili smo ga kao jednog od tri glavna govornika na konferenciji \u201eChange\u201c. U razgovoru smo se bavili temama koje ga najvi\u0161e preokupiraju, poput pitanja jednakosti i pravde.
\nGovorili smo o razlici izme\u0111u redistributivne i dru\u0161tvene nejednakosti, pri \u010demu je profesor Volf obrazlagao svoj fokus na potonju. Rasprava je dalje tekla u pravcu problematizacije jedne od najpoznatijih teorija pravde, one D\u017eona Rolsa. Kako treba razumeti \u201eveo neznanja\u201c, da li je pravi\u010dno imati onoliko nejednakosti koliko garantuje benefit onima koji su najugro\u017eeniji, i za\u0161to ovaj \u201edivni argument\u201c mo\u017ee ili ne mo\u017ee biti primenjiv na stvarnost?
\nTako\u0111e smo diskutovali o konceptu \u201emeritokratije\u201c, kako danas funkcioni\u0161e ili ne funkcioni\u0161e koncept \u201ejednakosti \u0161ansi\u201c, i da li je mogu\u0107e samoostvarenje i \u017eivotno zadovoljstvo bez kompeticije i \u201epobe\u0111ivanja\u201c. Pitali smo se da li je besklasno dru\u0161tvo jedini mogu\u0107i okvir za samoostvarenje bez takmi\u010denja ili to mo\u017eemo posti\u0107i i u klasnom dru\u0161tvu.
\nNa kraju, dotakli smo se Volfove poslednje koautorske knjige \u201eCity of Equals\u201c, u kojoj se razmatra set vrednosti koje bi jedan grad \u010dinile gradom jednakih. Ovo su samo neka od pitanja koja smo adresirali u ovom izuzetno zanimljivom razgovoru.<\/p>\n
