Abstract: | Philosophical discussions of prioritarianism, the view that we ought to give priority to those who are worse off, have hitherto
been almost exclusively focused on cases involving a fixed population. The aim of this paper is to extend the discussion of
prioritarianism to encompass also variable populations. I argue that prioritarianism, in its simplest formulation, is not
tenable in this area. However, I also propose several revised formulations that, so I argue, show more promise. |
