Liberty, equality, envy, and abstraction
In Justine Burley (ed.), Dworkin and His Critics: With Replies by Dworkin. Philosophers and their Critics. Wiley-Blackwell. pp. 70-78 (2004)
Abstract
Dworkin's reconciliation of liberty and equality in chapter 3 of 'Sovereign Virtue' presupposes the compossibility of the satisfaction of the envy test and the realization of the principle of abstraction. It is, however, impossible to realize a distribution that is both envy-free and maximally sensitive to plans and preferences. When this conflict between the envy test and the principle of abstraction is brought to light, it will become apparent that Dworkin falls short of a complete reconciliation of liberty and equality.Author's Profile
