People can fail to care deeply enough\, and they can also fail to care broadly enough. These two moral dimensions—deep concern for the plight of those in need and broad concern for equitable treatment of disparate others—have long been note d to be separable. However\, there has been very little attention paid t o how a person's “moral depth” (i.e.\, their prosocial and empathic disp ositions to care for others) relates to their "moral breadth" (i.e.\, th eir impartial dispositions to distribute such concern equitably).
