Capabilities Approach
Write a critical assessment of the book capabilities by Martha Nussbaum. (a) present the authors arguments on a particular issue or set of issues in a charitable way, (b) offer some plausible objections to their views, (c) explore how they could respond to these criticisms, and (d) come to a reasoned conclusion about the relative merits of the positions. To this end, also formulate your own topic to delineate your inquiry, for instance: Does Elizabeth Anderson offer a plausible view of workplace governance reform in the United States? You are encouraged to be creative as far as the formulation of the topic is concerned, as long as it majorly concerns one of the reading assignments and allows for the kind of in-depth treatment sketched above. You are also encouraged to find connections to the ongoing corona crisis, as appropriate.
