Shameless luck egalitarians
A recurring concern about luck egalitarianism is that its implementation would make some individuals, in particular those who lack marketable talents, experience shame. This, the objection goes, undermines individuals’ self-respect, which, in turn, may also lead to unequal respect between individuals. Loss of (self-)respect is a concern for any egalitarian, including distributive egalitarians, inasmuch as it is non-compensable. This paper respond…
Regarding Oneself as an Equal
Many relational egalitarians are concerned not only with relationships between individuals but also with how individuals relate to themselves. Unequal relations, such as hierarchies or oppression, are problematic, at least in part, because of what they do to individuals' self-regarding attitudes. While the literature often assumes a straightforward connection between egalitarian structures and self-respect, Christian Schemmel's work has called th…
Autonomy and Equality
Flashing red lights
As COVID-19 vaccination roll-outs are progressing in wealthy parts of the world, several countries are implementing or investigating COVID-19 vaccination passports that restrict access to restaurants, sports events or universities to those who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. While these discussions focus on domestic implementation, we must assume that, once introduced, vaccination passports will be applied to international travel. We…
Relational Egalitarianism
For relational egalitarians, equality is about how individuals relate to one another: equality requires that individuals regard and treat each other as equals. Different relational egalitarians have fleshed out this idea in different ways and use of the umbrella term “relational equality” should not detract from the differences between relational egalitarian views on offer. One question about relational equality is whether its requirements apply …
Social Justice, Equality and Primary Care
Justice, Pluralism, and the Egalitarian Ethos
One of the central aims of Kyle Johannsen’s monograph, A Conceptual Investigation of Justice , is to defend the idea that we should think of justice as a fundamental value—a value that can come into conflict with other fundamental values. This pluralism is associated in particular with G.A. Cohen’s work and his critique of John Rawls’s theory of justice. In this commentary, I sketch some of the implications of Cohen’s pluralism for a Cohenite eth…
Relational Equality and the Expressive Dimension of State Action
Expressive theories of state action seek to identify and assess the ‘meaning’ implicit in state action, such as legislation and public policies. In expressive theories developed by relational egalitarians, state action must ‘express’ equal concern and respect for citizens. However, it is unclear how precisely we can determine and assess the meaning of what states do. This paper considers how an expressive theory could be developed, given the comm…

Paternalism and Equality
Smoking Norms and the Regulation of E-Cigarettes
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS)—commonly called e-cigarettes—are at the center of a polarized debate. How should they be regulated? Central to this debate is the concern that e-cigarettes could lead to the renormalization of smoking and that the regulation of ENDS should therefore be modeled on the regulation of conventional cigarettes. I argue that arguments based on the renormalization of smoking can lend support to restrictions on …
Prospective longitudinal study of childhood risk factors in the development of obesity – the STEPS study
occupation, number of children). In children of non-overweight mothers, sedentary behaviour was related to the child's age, socio-economic characteristics of the family and physical activity. However, children of overweight mothers had very few characteristics related to sedentary behaviour (i.e. no association was found with the child's characteristics and only a weak association with familial characteristics)

Ethical Concerns in Tobacco Control Nonsmoker and “Nonnicotine” Hiring Policies
Smoking has been restricted in workplaces for some time. A number of organizations with health promotion or tobacco control goals have taken the further step of implementing employment restrictions. These restrictions apply to smokers and, in some cases, to anyone testing positive on cotinine tests, which also capture users of nicotine-replacement therapy and those exposed to secondhand smoke. Such policies are defended as closely related to broa…
