Critical-Level Population Principles And The Repugnant Conclusion. Blackorby, C., Bossert, W., & Donaldson, D.

Paper doi abstract bibtex Population principles extend fixed-population social goodness relations so that they can rank alternatives with different populations and population sizes. Most of the population principles commonly discussed are welfarist: the ranking of any pair of alternatives depends on the well-being of those alive in the two alternatives only. Thus, information about all those who ever live together with their levels of lifetime utility (interpreted as individual indicators of lifetime well-being) is sufficient to establish a welfarist social ranking. Furthermore, these population principles are typically anonymous: information about individual identities is not needed. Anonymity provides a solution to Parfit’s [1984] ‘non-identity problem’ and ensures that individual interests receive equal treatment.
