      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The sense of justice can be developed through familial, religious, and civic institutions that operate independently of labor market opportunity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.FEO's scope is restricted to competitive positional goods, leaving most moral development outside its regulatory reach.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Prioritizing FEO on grounds of moral development therefore overclaims its actual causal role in cultivating justice-oriented capacities.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Rawls's own lexical ordering places basic liberties prior to FEO precisely because liberty, not occupational access, is the primary site of moral self-authorship.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Grounding FEO's priority in the interest in developing a sense of justice smuggles in a justification that belongs constitutively to the first principle, not the second.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.This conflation risks inflating FEO's lexical weight beyond what a well-ordered theory of justice can coherently sustain.

    One argument in support of the Rawlsian priority for FEO assumes that FEO regulates opportunities for self-realization whereas the principle that demands maximization of the social primary goods holdings of the worst off regulates consumption activities. If we add that self-realization should take strict lexical priority over mere consumption activities in anyone's reasonable plan of life, we get an argument for the priority of FEO (Taylor 2004). Another argument starts from the observation that
