商品描述
This volume explores several aspects of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's framework for thinking about individual well-being. Called the functioning and capability approach (FCA), this framework radically departs from the conventional approach to the concept of individual well-being in welfare economics insofar as it identifies an individual's well-being as the value attached to the individual's achievements along certain dimensions of life and her freedom to choose a vector of such achievements rather than as the individual's happiness or desire fulfillment.
The volume consists of two main parts. Part I outlines and studies the basic conceptual and analytical framework and its major features in detail. Part II of the book is devoted to application of the analytical structure of the FCA to practical problems of measuring well-being, deprivation, and inequality in a society. The book concludes with a discussion of the main conclusions of earlier chapters and the role of social scientists and philosophers in the FCA. This volume will be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners studying multidimensional well-being, deprivation and inequality.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了阿馬蒂亞·森（Amartya Sen）和瑪莎·努斯鮑姆（Martha Nussbaum）關於個人福祉的思考框架的幾個方面。這一框架稱為功能與能力方法（functioning and capability approach, FCA），它徹底改變了福利經濟學中對個人福祉概念的傳統看法，因為它將個人的福祉視為個體在生活某些維度上的成就所附加的價值，以及她選擇這些成就向量的自由，而不是個人的幸福或欲望的滿足。
本書分為兩個主要部分。第一部分詳細概述並研究了基本的概念和分析框架及其主要特徵。第二部分則專注於將FCA的分析結構應用於測量社會中福祉、剝奪和不平等的實際問題。本書最後討論了前幾章的主要結論以及社會科學家和哲學家在FCA中的角色。本書將吸引研究多維福祉、剝奪和不平等的學生、研究人員和實務工作者的興趣。
