 In this debate, a maximal option is simply understood as one that is not entailed by any other option, aside from itself (Brown 2018: 752). More precisely, a maximal option may be understood as “an option that is maximally normatively specific in the sense that it is entailed only by normatively equivalent options”, where two options are normatively equivalent if and only if they are equivalent in terms of all of the normatively relevant considerations (Portmore 2017a: 428, 2017b: 2955). Any option that is not a maximal option will be a non-maximal option.
