Abstract

This landmark handbook collects in a single volume the current state of cutting-edge research on the capability approach. It includes a comprehensive introduction to the approach as well as new research from leading scholars in this increasingly influential multi-disciplinary field, including the pioneers of capability research, Martha C. Nussbaum and Amartya Sen. Incorporating both approachable introductory chapters and more in-depth analysis relating to the central philosophical, conceptual and theoretical issues of capability research, this handbook also includes analytical and measurement tools, as well as policy approaches which have emerged in the recent literature. The handbook will be an invaluable resource for students approaching the capability approach for the first time as well as for researchers engaged in advanced research in a wide range of disciplines, including development studies, economics, gender studies, political science and political philosophy.

Abstract

In dit boek wordt vanuit een veelheid aan gezichtspunten (26 auteurs) nagedacht over democratie en de verhouding tussen vrijheid en gelijkheid. Hoezo democratie? De spanning tussen vrijheid en gelijkheid wil zeker niet op zoek gaan naar goedkope en sloganeske antwoorden. Nadenken over democratie kan de democratie alleen maar ten goede komen. Immers, waar het denken wordt genekt, wordt ook de democratie genekt. Toch mag dit denken niet vrijblijvend zijn. Net zoals aan de grondslag van onze democratie, ligt aan de grondslag van dit denken een kritische en geëngageerde houding. Alle hier gebundelde auteurs staan voor hun zaak, wat impliceert dat hun essays niet vrijblijvend zijn. Ze nodigen de lezer uit stelling te nemen en kleur te bekennen

Abstract

The Promise of Happiness is a provocative cultural critique of the imperative to be happy. It asks what follows when we make our desires and even our own happiness conditional on the happiness of others: “I just want you to be happy”; “I’m happy if you’re happy.” Combining philosophy and feminist cultural studies, Sara Ahmed reveals the affective and moral work performed by the “happiness duty,” the expectation that we will be made happy by taking part in that which is deemed good, and that by being happy ourselves, we will make others happy. Ahmed maintains that happiness is a promise that directs us toward certain life choices and away from others. Happiness is promised to those willing to live their lives in the right way.&#13;&#13;Ahmed draws on the intellectual history of happiness, from classical accounts of ethics as the good life, through seventeenth-century writings on affect and the passions, eighteenth-century debates on virtue and education, and nineteenth-century utilitarianism. She engages with feminist, antiracist, and queer critics who have shown how happiness is used to justify social oppression, and how challenging oppression causes unhappiness. Reading novels and films including Mrs. Dalloway, The Well of Loneliness, Bend It Like Beckham, and Children of Men, Ahmed considers the plight of the figures who challenge and are challenged by the attribution of happiness to particular objects or social ideals: the feminist killjoy, the unhappy queer, the angry black woman, and the melancholic migrant. Through her readings she raises critical questions about the moral order imposed by the injunction to be happy.

Abstract

Alicja Gescinska heeft aan den lijve ervaren wat gebrek aan vrijheid is. Ooit woonde zij met haar ouders en zussen in een studio van vier bij vier in communistisch Polen. Vlak voor de Val van de Muur vluchtte het gezin naar België; Alicja was toen zeven jaar oud. Als tiener kon zij moeilijk aarden in het Westen, waar de toegenomen vrijheid niet meteen een garantie bleek voor een beter bestaan. Vrijheid scheen haar eerder een ander woord voor luiheid, gemakzucht, consumentisme. Pas met de ontdekking van wijsbegeerte en literatuur vond zij naar eigen zeggen de ware, positieve zin van de vrijheid.

Abstract

The present ecological mutation has organized the whole political landscape for the last thirty years. This could explain the deadly cocktail of exploding inequalities, massive deregulation, and conversion of the dream of globalization into a nightmare for most people. What holds these three phenomena together is the conviction, shared by some powerful people, that the ecological threat is real and that the only way for them to survive is to abandon any pretense at sharing a common future with the rest of the world. Hence their flight offshore and their massive investment in climate change denial.The Left has been slow to turn its attention to this new situation. It is still organized along an axis that goes from investment in local values to the hope of globalization and just at the time when, everywhere, people dissatisfied with the ideal of modernity are turning back to the protection of national or even ethnic borders.This is why it is urgent to shift sideways and to define politics as what leads toward the Earth and not toward the global or the national. Belonging to a territory is the phenomenon most in need of rethinking and careful redescription; learning new ways to inhabit the Earth is our biggest challenge. Bringing us down to earth is the task of politics today. (Provided by publisher)
