Abstract

There are two different ways in which an egalitarian might evaluate momentary distributions. This suggests two different egalitarian theories, with each theory focusing upon a different value. However, there may well be reason for refusing to make a choice between these theories, and recognizing both values, instead. However, this would suggest that egalitarianism may be more pluralist than has generally been presupposed.
