Book Reviews of Women and Human Development: The Capabilities Approach (The Seeley Lectures)

Book Review: Fantastic Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I recommend everyone read this book! Nussbaum, indebted to Aristotle, provides a solution to the problems of globalization that allows an individual to flourish, but do so in her own way--that is, she walks a very fine line between universalism (human flourishing) and relativism (respecting one's autonomy to pursue a particular way of life). Her theory has even been adopted by the United Nations Development Programme.
