Abstract
Anyone interested in contemporary non-discrimination jurisprudence will find much to contemplate in Eric Heinze's The Logic of Equality, published as part of Ashgate's Applied Legal Philosophy series. Aimed at legal practitioners as well as academics, the book sets out to illuminate certain enduring features of non-discrimination discourse and to provide a framework for analysing individual legal disputes. The author largely succeeds in that aim. However, in avoiding consideration of underlying subjective values the author leaves untouched an important input into the discourse, lessening the model's usefulness to disputants and decision-makers.
