   Jun 20, 2005 · For the sake of simplicity, suppose the favored distribution is an equal one. Suppose also that the inequality that we are concerned with exists between two people who have each been stranded on a small island. Through sheer good luck, the first person’s island is lush and fertile, and through sheer bad luck the other person’s island is arid.

   Sep 4, 2013 · listed synonyms: unlucky, hard-luck, ill-fated, ill-starred, jinxed, luckless, snakebit (or snakebitten), star-crossed, unfortunate, unhappy. It seems like all of the synonyms are not describing the case where the person is responsible for their own misfortune. Having no luck basically mean luck is causing misfortune.

   Constitutive Luck. One of the most basic forms of luck is constitutive luck—luck in being the kind of person one is (Nagel 1979, 28). Personal constitution may include contingent (e.g., inclinations, capacities, and temperament) as well as necessary features of a person. On the other hand, it may consist of necessary features only.

   Feb 20, 2018 · The first one says that the injustice of being worse off through bad luck will be removed by making the victims of bad luck as well off as possible. According to the second interpretation, maximizing the position of the worst off makes up for, but does not remove, the injustice of ending up worst off through bad luck.

   Third criticism: Luck egalitarianism violates the norm that we should respect persons. According to Anderson, luck egalitarianism is defective in a deeper way than has been noted to this point. This theory fails to express equal concern and respect for all persons. The considerations that are the basis for adopting luck egalitarian principles

   Summary. Kant believed that good or bad luck should influence neither our moral judgment of a person and his actions, nor his moral assessment of himself. The good will is not good because of what it effects or accomplishes or because of its adequacy to achieve some proposed end; it is good only because of its willing, i.e., it is good of itself.

   What does it mean if something is a matter of luck?

   • In either case, to say that something is a matter of luck for someone, in the sense of “luck” that is relevant to justice, is to imply that it affects this person’s interests for good or bad (see, however, Sher’s discussion (2014, 20–34) of whether the relevant objection to luck applies to people’s absolute or comparative distributive positions).

   Did Adam suffer from bad constitutive luck?

   • Alternatively, Adam may have suffered from bad constitutive luck in that he could have been differently constituted, and had he been so he would have made greater effort. Second, we might say that actual as well as counterfactual levels of effort matter (compare Zimmerman 1993, 226).

   What does having no luck mean?

   • It seems like all of the synonyms are not describing the case where the person is responsible for their own misfortune. Having no luck basically mean luck is causing misfortune. Don't like this word here. I feel like "hapless" has connotations of incompetence, but that's just like, my opinion, man.

   Does luck affect a person's interests?

   • When we add up resultant, circumstantial, constitutive, and antecedent causal luck, the area of life that is free of luck seems to shrink “to an extensionless point” (Nagel 1979, 35; compare Parfit 1995, 10–12; Lang 2021; Levy 2014). Luck that does not affect a person’s interests is irrelevant from the point of view of justice.

   Apr 23, 2013 · Some of us do good; that is due to luck. Others do bad, but that too is due to luck. Thus, we are not in control nearly to the degree that one might otherwise expect. And thus -- because we are subjects of luck -- not one of us is, after all, morally responsible or free. This is the hard luck view, and it is the thesis of this book. Summary
