Abstract

This chapter responds to Robert Huseby’s critique that instrumental limitarianism is not genuinely limitarian. I first introduce the distinction between problem-driven versus theory-driven philosophy, which is relevant for assessing my earlier work on limitarianism. I then provide a restatement and refinement of limitarianism based on recent developments in the literature. I then argue that limitarianism is distinct from egalitarianism, as well as from sufficientarianism. Limitarianism fits well as one part of a pluralist account of distributive justice. I conclude by arguing that limitarianism could play a distinct role both within political philosophy, as well as within society.
