Abstract
La dimensión formal de la igualdad reduce el problema de la
efectividad de los derechos, a una consideración de eficiencia normativa y
los aísla del resto de dimensiones de la realidad, incluidas las condiciones
materiales que permiten alcanzarla. Desde una perspectiva materialista, en
cambio, la igualdad responde a esa necesidad histórica de que “los seres
humanos” puedan “existir”, con condiciones materiales de posibilidad, es
decir, para que puedan seguir haciéndolo. Desde esta última, para lo que
nos interesa aquí, partiendo de la base de que jurídicamente no se acaba
de dar una respuesta satisfactoria al problema de la igualdad, pretendemos
deletrear aquí algunas de las vías para superar el estancamiento de la idea
de igualdad en los sistemas democráticos occidentales, para arriesgar después
caminos y algunas respuestas
The idea of equality, as established in modern society, has got two different aspects or dimensions: the legal-formal and the materialistic aspects. Tha first one has prevailed in our normative systems and it is considered as a subjective right for all the citizens in the face of the State. However, this formal dimension of equality reduces the problem of the effectiveness of the rights to a consideration of normative efficiency, and it isolates them from reality, including the material conditions that make get it. The second dimension gives an answer to the historical necessity that “human beings” can “exist” with material conditions of possibility. Since legally no answer has been given to the problem of equality, in this article I will try to show some procedures to overcome the stagnation of the idea of equality in the western democratic systems, as well as some answers
