    Beyond 'compassion and humanity': Justice for nonhuman animals
    In Cass R. Sunstein & Martha Craven Nussbaum (eds.), Animal rights: current debates and new directions, Oxford University Press. pp. 299--320. 2004.
    This chapter discusses the application of the capabilities approach to the question of animal rights. It explains that this approach provides better theoretical guidance on the issue of animal entitlements over contractarian and utilitarian approaches because it is capable of recognising a wide range of types of animal dignity and of corresponding needs for flourishing. The chapter criticises the view of philosopher Immanuel Kant and his followers that mistreatment of animals does not raise ques…Read more

    Oup Usa. 2013.
    This interdisciplinary volume of contributed essays focuses on issues of gender in the British novel of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, particularly Hardy and Trollope. Approaching the topic from a variety of backgrounds the contributors reinvigorate the law-and-literature movement by displaying a range of ways in which literature and law can illuminate one another, and in which the conversation between them can illuminate deeper human issues with which both disciplines are concerned

    This is the latest volume in a series that has made important contributions on Hellenistic philosophy, currently the liveliest context of research in ancient philosophy. Each volume is based on a smallish conference of leading international scholars; the aim is not to generate shared work on a single issue or topic, but to produce a series of original, expert papers in a given area. A feature of the series has been to show not only that much new, good scholarship can be done on Hellenistic thoug…Read more

    El discernimiento de la percepción: una concepción aristotélica de la razón privada y pública
    Estudios de Filosofía (Universidad de Antioquia) 11 107-168. 1995.
    Este artículo es una presentación de la teoría aristotélica de la racionalidad que pretende, apoyándose en dicha teoría, criticar las teorías contemporáneas de la elección. Así, establece una oposición entre los planteamientos aristotélicos de la racionalidad práctica, al interior de los cuales es diferenciada la sabiduría práctica de la comprensión científica, y las recientes teorías que establecen una concepción "científica" de la racionalidad práctica, o bien, que contemp…Read more

    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. In this classic work, Martha Nussbaum maintains that these Hellenistic schools have been unjustly neglected in recent philosophic accounts of what the classical "tradition" has to offer. By examining texts of philosophers such as Epicurus, Lucretius, and Seneca, she recovers a valuable source for current moral an…Read more

    Martha Nussbaum y Ursula Wolf.-Un contrapunto acerca de la vida buena-
    Estudios de Filosofía (Universidad de Antioquia) 11 43-106. 1995.
    Tanto la filosofía como la literatura, en cuanto búsquedas de la verdad, de respuestas frente a un núcleo de preguntas vitales, recurren a una estructura formal que necesariamente es la expresión de una actitud frente a la vida. Se plantea que la forma literaria no puede separarse del contenido filosófico, pues es el resultado de una indagación que intenta dar respuestas a asuntos particulares sobre la vida humana, así como el contenido filosófico halla expresión en una estructura forma…Read more

    Rawls's Political Liberalism (edited book)
    Cambridge University Press. 2015.
    Widely hailed as one of the most significant works in modern political philosophy, John Rawls's _Political Liberalism_ defended a powerful vision of society that respects reasonable ways of life, both religious and secular. These core values have never been more critical as anxiety grows over political and religious difference and new restrictions are placed on peaceful protest and individual expression. This anthology of original essays suggests new, groundbreaking applications of Rawls's work …Read more
