In this conception, each party's relative bargaining position (threat advantage) is a crucial factor in the formulation and rejection of principles. It has become customary to call such accounts 'contractarian' in contrast to the more strongly moralized 'contractualist' accounts offered by Scanlon or Rawls.

It is unclear to what extent the positions Scanlon takes in this and other, even earlier essays are meant to be incorporated into our reading of his book.
