In "Equality or Priority?" Derek Parfit draws an inportant distinction between two categories of distributive pronciple which tend to favor less advantaged individuals when their interest conflict with those of more advantaged individuals. Egalitarian principles do so because they assume that it is intrinsically bad, or unfair, if some individuals are worse off than others. Prioritarian principles do not assume that inequality is ever noninstrumentally morally regrettable. Instead they favor the less advanteged because they assume that the moral value of a benefit, or disvalue of a burden, diminishes as its recipient becomes the relative merits of these two categories of principle. A third category of sufficiency principles has also generated some significant debate. These principles do not favor the elimination of inequality, nor do they regard benefiting the less well off as generally more important than benefiting the better off. instead they insist that when evaluating different distributions what matters is whether individuals have enough not to fall below some critical threshold of advantage.
