Abstract

Il saggio propone di coniugare due termini all’apparenza difficilmente con­ci­liabili, ‘eguaglianza’ e ‘aristocrazia’, a partire da due possibili e distinti si­gni­ficati dell’eguaglianza: come so­vrap­po­nibilità che ha generato e genera totalitarismi, e come comunanza generale all’origine di molteplici differenze, ovvero di identità com­misurantisi che con­vi­vono sotto il segno della relazione reciproca. Gli eguali in questo secondo sen­so di­ven­gono aristocratici, cioè ottimi, nel mo­mento in cui decidono di ren­dersi, ciascuno, ‘signore con­sapevole’ della pro­pria biografia, e con ciò solidale con ogni altra storia personale, ri­spet­toso e partecipe della sua differenza.This paper proposes to settle the apparently opposite concepts of equality and aristocracy, starting from two different meanings of equality. Equality can be in­tended either as overlapping of behaviours and opinions or as a common ba­sis from which many distinctions can originate. If the former concept risks to ge­nerate totalitarianisms, the latter becomes the place where different identities can relate to each other and live together. The ‘equals’ in this sense correspond to the aristocrats , because they are the ones who consciously choo­se to govern their own life and to live in solidarity with other personal his­tories, respecting and sharing reciprocal differences
