Summary: Many have proposed their own justifications for fundamental human equality (rational faculties, moral sense, homicidal capabilities, something metaphysical etc.), although all are insufficient in some way. Yet equality is still not a useful fiction, as others have argued. What we have in equal capacity is our conscious freedom—our experience of agency. This equal freedom ensures that we are equal when bargaining in the social contract. Yet this is the limits to the extent of human equality, as inequalities can be justified in the social contract.
