  It should be clear that even if some contingent connections of these sorts hold between promoting equality and acting in conformity with some quite different moral view whose best articulation contains no essential reference to equality promotion, the quite different moral view is not thereby revealed to be egalitarian. At the outset of this survey broad and narrow egalitarianism were distinguished. The former says equality is at least instrumentally valuable and should be promoted; the latter says equality is non-instrumentally valuable and should on that ground be promoted. To show that some moral doctrine supports broad egalitarianism one would need to show not just that the view might conceivably, given some logically possible circumstances, support the claim that equality of some sort should be promoted, but rather that given the world as it is and is likely to be, the doctrine in question is often or usually or always aligned with broad egalitarianism.
