Bottlenecks, Disability, and Preference-Formation: A Reply

Abstract

How can opportunity pluralism help us understand the relationship between disability and equal opportunity? Or between opportunities and the formation of preferences? This reply essay briefly addresses these questions. An even briefer coda considers the question of global opportunity pluralism. This piece is a lightly edited and footnoted version of remarks delivered in 2015 at the North American Society for Social Philosophy book award panel, where the award went to "Bottlenecks: A New Theory of Equal Opportunity."

Keywords: Bottlenecks, disability, opportunity pluralism, equal opportunity, preference-formation, global justice
