"In what sense should persons be judged to be equal or unequal as a matter of justice? The capabilities approach to equality, developed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, seeks to answer this important question." "While capabilities theory has avoided many of the conceptual difficulties that have undermined competing accounts of egalitarian justice, recent criticisms have raised questions regarding the focus, structure and justification of the theory. In this volume, leading scholars present new and original essays that address these controversies. The authors connect issues of egalitarian justice to practical political concerns, identify the strengths and weaknesses of the capabilities account of egalitarian justice and finally seek to realize real progress in the understanding of distributive justice." "This accessible volume will be essential reading for all scholars with an interest in distributive justice, and for students and researchers studying moral philosophy, social theory and political theory."--BOOK JACKET.
