Reparations, Social Inequality, and Causation

In a recent article, Alexander Motchoulski offers a novel _relational egalitarian view_ of reparations for historical injustice. Motchoulski argues that we ought to prefer the relational egalitarian view to available harm_ _and inheritance_ _theories because it avoids epistemic uncertainty. I argue that Motchoulski’s theory involves ambiguity that limits it in avoiding this epistemic uncertainty. I offer an amendment to Motchoulski’s theory that insulates it from this ambiguity and epistemic uncertainty.
