 Although many people continue to speak of a ‘partialist vs. impartialist debate,’ it should by now be clear that neither ‘partialism’ nor ‘impartialism’ unambiguously denote any single moral position; at best, they designate two poles of a continuum, one of which attributes no moral significance to the demands of (any sort of) impartiality, the other of which sees morality as exhausted by (some version of) impartiality. While a somewhat general distinction can be usefully maintained, it is misleading to think of the partialist-impartialist debate as a dispute between two clearly defined, and clearly opposed, camps (Deigh 1991; Barry 1995, 191–5). Maximilian de Gaynesford goes so far as to argue that “debates about partialism and impartialism thrive on tacit assumptions about the way each relates to the first person. These assumptions rest on mistakes and confusions …” (de Gaynesford 2010).
