Abstract

Torry explores a variety of different ways in which terms are defined: according to current usage; by a list of characteristics; by a legitimate authority on the basis of normative considerations; or by a legitimate authority on the basis of current usage. These methods are then employed to construct a variety of definitions of Basic Income. How the terms are used in practice is explored, and a categorisation of definitions is offered. The chapter then asks how such terms as ‘guarantee’, ‘unconditional’ and ‘universal’ might be defined, and it relates the definitions of those words to definitions of Basic Income. Some policy implications are discussed.
