Explanation
★The doctrine of proportionate equality was given by Aristotle, so the answer is Aristotle.
★Aristotle distinguished numerical equality from proportionate equality.
★Numerical equality treats all persons exactly the same regardless of merit.
★Proportionate equality gives to each according to his desert, worth or contribution.
★Justice for Aristotle means treating equals equally and unequals unequally, in proportion.
★This idea underlies the principle of distributing rewards by merit.
★Rousseau and Marx, by contrast, emphasised deeper social and economic equality.
