Nussbaum's Capabilities

Nussbaum’s Capabilities approach emphasizes that a good society should ensure individuals have the genuine freedom to pursue essential aspects of a fulfilling life. Instead of just focusing on resources or economic wealth, it highlights key abilities or opportunities people should have, such as health, education, and emotional well-being. The goal is to enable everyone to lead a life they themselves value, by removing barriers that prevent participation in important human activities. This perspective shifts the focus from material wealth to the quality of life and the real freedoms each person enjoys.
