This edited volume offers a critical discussion of luck
egalitarianism - one of the most prominent views in contemporary
political philosophy - through an exploration of the theory of one
of its leading proponents, Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen. When (if ever)
can inequalities in how well peoples' lives go be justified? Luck
egalitarianism provides an appealing answer: inequalities are just
if, and only if, they are the result of the exercise of individual
responsibility. Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen lucidly defends and
specifies this view in his own book Luck Egalitarianism. The
authors in this volume offer a critical discussion of the key
features of his view. They discuss disagreements within views which
assign an important role to responsibility. They go on to push the
limits of luck egalitarianism: what about inequalities between us
and the dead? And inequalities between groups? Finally, they
criticize some of the central tenets of luck egalitarianism,
including its tendency to avoid action-guiding judgements and its
focus on distributions rather than interpersonal relations. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review
of International Social and Political Philosophy.
