Vulnerability, intrinsic property, extrinsic property, dispositional property, conceptual analysis, conceptionsAbstract
The first part of the research introduces a metatheoretical approach that reconstructs the recent discussion on the notion of vulnerability. To achieve this, it proposes organizing the debate using the type of property that vulnerability represents as the organizing criterion. It distinguishes three positions: intrinsic, extrinsic, and dispositional. These three positions are evaluative discourses that can be useful for policy formulation and for justifying norms. In the second part, the text analyzes whether these positions can be understood as conceptions in the sense of Rawls and Dworkin. It concludes that they are not Rawlsian conceptions but can be understood as Dworkinian conceptions. Based on these two conclusions, the text reflects on the need to reconstruct the concept of vulnerability as a descriptive notion—that is, neutral to values, devoid of values, and independent of values.
