In this paper I provide a partial defence of Ronald Dworkin’s claim that the equal availability of insurance is capable of turning inequalities arising from bad brute luck (deemed unjust) into inequalities arising from bad option luck (deemed just).

Introduction. 8. In the welfarist tradition of social-choice theory, egalitarianism means equality of that transforms what Dworkin calls 'brute luck' into 'option luck.

Thus, we have four factors that jointly determine what outcomes are realized: brute luck in initial opportunities, brute outcome luck, choices, option outcome luck. “ On Dworkin's Brute-Luck-Option-Luck Distinction and the Consistency of Brute-Luck Egalitarianism.” Politics, Philosophy & Economics 3 ( 2004 ): 283–312. Scheffler , Samuel . Basic principles. Luck egalitarians therefore distinguish between outcomes that are the result of brute luck (e.g. misfortunes in genetic makeup, or being struck by a bolt of lightning) and those that are the consequence of conscious options (such as career choice or fair gambles).

Factor 3: Brute Luck. Subjects randomly receive an envelope with either a white or a yellow paper inside A ball is drawn to determine which of the two colours wins Payo⁄: Subjects with the colour paper matching the colour of the ball receive 10 euros more. Unlucky subjects receive 0 euros.

To establish this contention, I begin by discussing the two principles that anchor his philosophy: equal importance and special responsibility. If we keep a non-comparative reading of option luck (as given by Dworkin) whilst using brute luck to refer to comparative advantage then option luck and brute luck cease to remain the counterparts, defined in opposition to one another as they are in the Dworkin’s original specification of those terms. Dworkin’s key argument concerning luck is that “insurance, so far as it is available, provides a link between brute and option luck, because the decision to buy or reject catastrophe insurance is a calculated gamble”.

The characterization of brute luck as (reasonable) unavoidability has some further problems. One is that at best it is a gross simplification of a more adequate general idea of inability to influence. Inability to avoid is one way that an agent can be unable to influence outcomes, but it is not the only way. Once the benefit is paid, according to Dworkin, we will have equal resources again. I can see two kinds of objection to this.

Philosophy and Public Affairs, 10:4 (1981), 293: “Option luck is a matter Note that these cases are analogous to cases of what Ronald Dworkin has called ‘bad option luck’ as opposed to ‘bad brute luck’, where there is nothing unfair about bad option luck. Option luck, as Dworkin defines it, is ‘a matter of … whether someone gains or loses through accepting an isolated risk he or she should have anticipated and might have declined’ ( Dworkin 1981 : 293).

Option luck is a matter of how deliberate and calculated gambles turn out – whether someone gains or loses through accepting an isolated risk he or she should have anticipated and might have declined. Brute luck is a matter of how risks fall out that are not in the sense deliberate gambles. (Dworkin, 1981, p. 293).

Das obige Beispiel soll nur aufzeigen, was in Gerechtigkeitstheorien unter brute luck und option luck verstanden wird, ich muss es also nicht übersetzen. Diese Begriffe wurden meines Wissens von Dworkin eingeführt (siehe Dworkin, Ronald, 2000 Sovereign Virtue: The Theory and Practice of Equality. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press) und ich
