Summary/Abstract: Author examines Ronald Dworkin's theses as presented in Sovereign Virtue - The Theory and Practice of Equality. Dworkin tries to construct just model of social distribution, the one that would correspond to ideal of "equal treatment" of each individual. That model includes compensation for hendicaps that do not depend on individual will, but it also makes individual success dependent on decisions, labor and individual talents. Article estimates the most important reviews of Dworkin's thought (by P. Berkowitz, K. A. Appiah, W. Kymlicka). In the conclusion author gives methodological objections on Dworkin's theory and on inconsistences in different phases of his scientific development.
