Abstract
Jacques Ranciere has become known for his writings both on politics and aesthetics. What ties them together is that they both concern the concept of equality. However, they address this concept in different ways. In this article, I address the concept of equality as it appears both in his political and aesthetic writings, with a focus on the latter.
