Justice Institutions and Luck by Kok-Chor Tan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Kok-Chor Tan addresses three key questions in egalitarian distributive justice: Where does distributive equality matter?; Why does it matter?; And among whom does it matter? He argues for an institutional site for egalitarian justice, and suggests that the mitigation of arbitrariness or luckis the basis for distributive commitments. He also argues that distributive obligations are global in scope, applying between individuals across borders. Tan's objectives are tripartite: to clarify the basis of an institutional approach to justice; to establish luck egalitarianism as an account of the ground of equality; and to realize the global nature of egalitarian justice. The outcome is "institutional luck egalitarianism" - a new cosmopolitanposition on distributive justice. | Justice Institutions and Luck by Kok-Chor Tan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
