Explanation
★The empirical approach alone does not belong to Dworkin, so the answer is only 3.
★Dworkin's theory of justice is normative, arguing about how resources ought to be shared.
★His core idea is equality of resources rather than equality of welfare.
★It is ambition sensitive, letting outcomes reflect people's choices and effort.
★It is endowment insensitive, correcting for brute luck such as disability or accident.
★This makes Dworkin a leading thinker of luck egalitarianism within the liberal tradition.
★His use of the hypothetical auction and insurance market also draws on the social contract style of reasoning.
