sufficientarian

Depending on the nature of the world and the conception of adequacy, the sufficientarian proviso may be more, or less, demanding than the Nozickean proviso.

Libertarianism Vallentyne, Peter 2009

Although sufficientarian libertarianism may be more sensitive than Nozickean libertarianism to the quality of life prospects left to others, some libertarians, left-libertarians, argue that it nevertheless fails to recognize the extent to which natural resources belong to all of us in some egalitarian manner.

Libertarianism Vallentyne, Peter 2009

If natural resources are sufficiently abundant relative to the individuals, then Nozickean proviso will be more demanding (since many individuals would get more than an adequate share without the use or appropriation), but if natural resources are sufficiently scarce, then the sufficientarian proviso will be more demanding than the Nozickian one.

Libertarianism Vallentyne, Peter 2009

A sufficientarian interpretation of the threshold notion of harm (together with an appropriate conception of wrongdoing) provides us with a plausible understanding of what is owed to future people: the fact that future persons 'existence is contingent on our present decisions does not matter where what is in question is our ability to harm future people's interests and to violate their rights.

Intergenerational Justice Meyer, Lukas 2008

If these objections against an egalitarian and prioritarian specification of the threshold of harm are valid, we have particular reasons for interpreting intergenerational justice according to a sufficientarian threshold.

Intergenerational Justice Meyer, Lukas 2008

For this purpose, we now turn to sufficientarian interpretations of the threshold.

So understood, the basic capability proposal falls in the family of sufficientarian ideals; on which, see the section on "Sufficiency" below.

(For example, the sufficientarian and prioritarian principles discussed in the text below both admit of resourcist and welfarist variants.)
