The book presents a critical examination of contemporary liberalism, particularly the concept of egalitarianism, which Kekes argues is based on misconceptions that obscure harsh realities. He contends that differences in morality, legality, and citizenship are vital for governance and critiques leading egalitarian thinkers for undermining morality and reason. By asserting that individuals should receive what they deserve and be accountable for their actions, Kekes challenges readers to reconsider their beliefs in liberal ideals, making a compelling case for recognizing "inegalitarian truths."
