Abstract

I examine the once popular claim according to which interpersonal comparisons of welfare are necessary for social choice. I side with current social choice theorists in emphasizing that, on a narrow construal, this necessity claim is refuted beyond appeal. However, I depart from the opinion presently prevailing in social choice theory in highlighting that on a broader construal, this claim proves not only compatible with, but even comforted by, the current state of the field. I submit that all in all, the most accurate philosophical assessment consists not in flatly rejecting this necessity claim, but in accepting it in a suitably revised form.
什么人际比较?
我考察了一度流行的观点,即人际间的福利比较对于社会选择是必要的。我站在当前社会选择理论家的一边,强调在一个狭义的解释上,这种必然性主张是无可辩驳的。然而,我与目前在社会选择理论中盛行的观点不同,我强调,从更广泛的解释来看,这一主张不仅与该领域的现状相一致,而且甚至得到了安慰。总而言之,我认为最准确的哲学评价不在于断然拒绝这种必然性主张,而在于以适当修正的形式接受它。
