| contents | <blockquote>This paper develops <em>Negative Utilitarianism of Separateness (UNS)</em> as a non-aggregative normative framework grounded in the ontological separateness of individual experience. It argues that certain forms of suffering—defined as agency-collapsing and non-compensable—generate a lexical constraint on moral and political justification.</blockquote> <blockquote>Building on this constraint, the paper critiques meritocratic and liberal conceptions of freedom that legitimate asymmetric power relations, and introduces <em>equifelicity</em> as a minimal distributive requirement: equal protection from exposure to maximal suffering rather than equal welfare or opportunity.</blockquote> <blockquote>The argument engages contemporary debates on domination, freedom, and distributive justice, particularly republican and luck-egalitarian theories, and explores the implications for institutional design, including labor relations, social protection, and self-management.</blockquote> <blockquote>The paper aims to contribute to moral and political philosophy by offering a structurally non-aggregative alternative to both utilitarian and deontological approaches.</blockquote> |
