- Title
Impartiality, Priority, and Justice: The Veil of Ignorance Reconsidered.
- Authors
Moehler, Michael
- Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between the moral ideal of impartiality based on the veil of ignorance and the position of prioritarianism. It argues a study that aims to provide a more detailed analysis of the relationship among impartiality, priority, justice, and the veil of ignorance based on the assumption that justice is prioritarian. The author's argument shows that the non-prioritarian conclusions reached by many theories of justice rely on complex reasoning.
