The role of impartiality in the evaluation of social judgments and societal arrangements is well recognized in moral and political philosophy. Here, I want to discuss a basic distinction between two quite different ways of invoking impartiality. The procedures involve disparate interpretations of the demands of impartiality, and can correspondingly have rather dissimilar substantive implications. The two approaches will be called closed and open impartiality, respectively. The distinction turns on whether or not the exercise of impartial assessment is confined (or more accurately, attempted to be confined) to a fixed group: I shall call it the focal group.
