Try Immanuel Kant. We deserve to treat each other with equality because we are rational creatures and because we are rational, have an imperative to treat ourselves as a fully autonomous decisionmaker, and an imperative to treat others with similar dignity

Now Kant did not prescribe equality (indeed he was opposed to republicanism in his time), but there is at least a strong rational basis for an equitable and civilized society wherein we treat each other with dignity above that of mere beasts
