8Le premier fondateurArchives de Philosophie du Droit 52 299-316. 2009.Roger Williams est l’un des créateurs de la tradition constitutionnelle américaine. Il fournit les bases d’une politique fondée sur un égal respect des consciences et l’équité religieuse qui résonnent jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Derrière son importante réussite politique, il y a une pensée aussi riche sur ces questions que celle de John Locke et nettement plus pénétrante quant à la psychologie de la victime et de son tortionnaire. Elle tourne autour d’une idée sur laquelle Williams se concentre avec un…Read more

215Political liberalism and global justiceJournal of Global Ethics 11 (1): 68-79. 2015.This article argues that political liberalism, of the type formulated by John Rawls and Charles Larmore and further developed in Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's capabilities approach, is superior to more comprehensive political views both in domestic and in global affairs. Perfectionist liberalism as advocated by John Stuart Mill and Joseph Raz attempts to erase existing religions and replace them with the religion of utility or autonomy. This is wrong, because in the ethico-religious environm…Read more

44601Capabilities as Fundamental Entitlements: Sen and Social JusticeFeminist Economics 9 (2-3): 33-59. 2003.Amartya Sen has made a major contribution to the theory of social justice, and of gender justice, by arguing that capabilities are the relevant space of comparison when justice-related issues are considered. This article supports Sen's idea, arguing that capabilities supply guidance superior to that of utility and resources (the view's familiar opponents), but also to that of the social contract tradition, and at least some accounts of human rights. But I argue that capabilities can help us to c…Read more

Cicero aan AtticusNexus 37. 2003.'Verder vraag je mij terug te keren naar mijn vroegere levenswijze. Het was al lang mijn plicht te treuren, namelijk om de ondergang van de republiek; dat deed ik dan ook, maar minder heftig, want ik had een plek om tot rust te komen. Nu kan ik die wijze van leven en handelen volstrekt niet meer tot de mijne maken en om de mening van anderen daarover hoef ik me niet te bekommeren. Mijn eigen geweten is me meer waard dan het gepraat van Jan en alleman.'

Patriottisme en kosmopolitismeNexus 11. 1995.Het zal niet makkelijk zijn het patriottisme, en met name dat van de Amerikanen, om te buigen naar een waarachtig gevoel van saamhorigheid met de gehele mensheid. Hiervoor zouden nationale onderwijsprogramma's radicaal moeten worden veranderd en zouden "kosmopolitische scholen" moeten worden opgericht.

10Upheavals of ThoughtJournal of Religious Ethics 31 (2): 325-341. 2001.In "Upheavals of Thought", Martha Nussbaum offers a theory of the emotions. She argues that emotions are best conceived as thoughts, and she argues that emotion-thoughts can make valuable contributions to the moral life. She develops extensive accounts of compassion and erotic love as thoughts that are of great moral import. This paper seeks to elucidate what it means, for Nussbaum, to say that emotions are forms of thought. It raises critical questions about her conception of the structure of e…Read more

61Reply to the papersPhenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 13 (4): 659-670. 2014.I am extremely grateful to Rick Furtak and Alison McQueen for their valuable and challenging comments. My book is long and complicated, and it can hardly have been easy to internalize its details, both philosophical and political. The two authors have a very accurate grasp of my views, and I am delighted by that. I actually do not need to spend my time correcting misstatements of what I say. Both authors offer really interesting challenges to my views, about which it’s a pleasure to think furthe…Read more

120The Therapy of Desire: Theory and Practice in Hellenistic EthicsPrinceton University Press. 1994.The Epicureans, Skeptics, and Stoics practiced philosophy not as a detached intellectual discipline, but as a worldly art of grappling with issues of daily and urgent human significance: the fear of death, love and sexuality, anger and aggression. Like medicine, philosophy to them was a rigorous science aimed both at understanding and at producing the flourishing of human life. In this engaging book, Martha Nussbaum examines texts of philosophers committed to a therapeutic paradigm--including Ep…Read more
