Childhood, Education and Distribuendum Gaps
Lindblom, Lars
Ethics and Education, v15 n1 p48-61 2020
The state can act in ways that cause injustice between children, but the standard opportunity accounts of the distribuendum fail to explain how this can be the case. Such accounts have a problem of distribuendum gaps. First, they fail to identify the locus of injustice between children, as they must explain such injustice in terms of inequalities between adults. Second, they have an inability to identify cases of injustice where adulthood is not affected. In order to solve these problems, while retaining the insights of the standard accounts, the distribuendum must include some goods appropriate for children and others for adults. G.A. Cohen's theory of access to advantage can solve these problems of distribuendum gaps, and this speaks in favor it being the correct distribuendum of justice.
