G. A. Cohen (Gerald Allan Cohen)

G. A. Cohen was a philosopher best known for his work on social justice and equality. He argued that a fair society is one that provides equal opportunities and resources to everyone, emphasizing the moral importance of reducing inequalities. Cohen believed that principles like equality of opportunity are central to justice and that society should aim to distribute resources in ways that benefit everyone, especially the least advantaged. His ideas influence debates on fairness, welfare, and how societies should structure economic and social systems to be just.
