The standard version of sufficientarianism maintains that providing people with enough, or as close to enough as is possible, is lexically prior to other distributive goals. This article argues that this is excessive – more than distributive justice allows – in four distinct ways. These concern the magnitude of advantage, the number of beneficiaries, responsibility and desert, and above-threshold distribution. Sufficientarians can respond by accepting that providing enough unconditionally is more than distributive justice allows, instead balancing sufficiency against other considerations.

足够了:对充足主义的过度反对

充足主义的标准版本认为,为人们提供足够或尽可能接近足够的东西,在词汇上先于其他分配目标。本文以四种不同的方式认为这是过度的——超出了分配正义所允许的范围。这些涉及优势的大小、受益者的数量、责任和应得以及高于阈值的分配。充足主义者可以通过接受无条件提供足够多超出分配正义所允许的范围来做出回应,而不是平衡充足与其他考虑因素。
