My main field is Distributive Justice, the part of Political Philosophy that examines how social institutions should distribute benefits and burdens within a family or a country, as well as across countries, generations, or even species, employing taxes and other instruments to address problems like gender inequality, poverty or climate change. The areas of application are diverse, but seeking distributive fairness usually involves discussing the comparative principle of Equality, the noncomparative principle of Sufficiency and the comparative or non comparative principle of Priority to the Worst Off, as well as deciding whether it is inequalities in welfare, resources or cabilities that matter. I have also written about how to distribute the cost of children, the right to access the sea, the limits to cultural and religious accomodation, and, from a biologically-informed perspective, about gender, xenotransplants, animal ethics, personhood and the therapy/enhancement debate.
