 Brownlee thinks that, in order to respect the human right against social deprivation it is enough to have “minimal opportunities for non-threatening, decent, or supportive social interaction” (Brownlee 2013, 206) rather than relationships with friends or loved ones. She doubts that equality of social connection is valuable in itself; yet, the rich arguments that she provides concerning the importance of personal relationship goods suggest that justice requires more than the securing of the human right she advocates. And her worry that requiring equality instead of sufficiency could lead to leveling down can be assuaged by adopting a prioritarian principle.
