| Title | The Metric and the Pattern of Social Advantages |
| Summary | In my paper I examine the connection between the different patterns and metrics of distributive justice. I do my scrutiny with focusing around the problems of responsibility and entitlements in the literature. First I establish an egalitarian framework to make easier the comparison between the following different metrics of distributive justice: welfare, resources and capabilities. Between the metric I argue that welfarism has to be rejected, but resources and capabilities seem to be promising concepts as the subject of distributive justice. In the second part of my paper, I revise my argumentation about the egalitarian framework and argue that the problems about responsibility and entitlements show into the direction of sufficientarianism. At the end I argue besides a hybrid version of sufficient capabilities and resources. |
