Abstract

Equality of opportunity is widely endorsed but subject to conflicting interpretations. This article identifies four non-equivalent interpretations of the equality of opportunity ideal. Under scrutiny, all are contestable. The suggestion is broached that equality opportunity norms are best regarded as, in some circumstances, means to further justice goals, never rather as in themselves morally desirable.
