The Levelling-Down Objection is a standard objection to monistic egalitarian theories where equality is the only thing that has intrinsic value. Most egalitarians, however, are value pluralists; they hold that, in addition to equality being intrinsically valuable, the egalitarian currency in which we are equal or unequal is also intrinsically valuable. In this paper, I argue that the Levelling-Down Objection still minimizes the weight that the intrinsic badness of inequality could have in the overall intrinsic evaluation of outcomes, given a certain way of measuring the badness of inequality, namely, the Additive Individual-Complaints Measure.

Levelling-Down 反对和不平等严重程度的加法测度

Levelling-Down Objection 是对一元平等主义理论的标准反对意见，其中平等是唯一具有内在价值的东西。然而，大多数平等主义者都是价值多元主义者。他们认为，除了平等具有内在价值之外，我们平等或不平等的平等货币也具有内在价值。在本文中，我认为，考虑到衡量不平等程度的某种方式，即加性个人投诉措施。
