ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book argues that a disagreement over the sense in which justice is narrower than moral rightness implicitly lies at the heart of much debate between contemporary egalitarians. In contemporary debates about justice, political philosophers take themselves to be engaged with a subject related to but distinct from moral rightness. Much contemporary debate over the content of distributive justice revolves around the theory Elizabeth Anderson dubbed 'luck egalitarianism'. Establishing that the disputes over content and scope are traceable to different uses of the term 'justice' does not by itself establish a philosophical issue, however. Non-arbitrarily specifying the content of procedural fairness, whether it is the sort of procedural fairness at play in contractualist theories of justice or the sort of fairness at play in democratic procedures, requires a substantive criterion of fairness.
