On Sen and Aristotle
In this paper I maintain that Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach (CA) implies a recuperation of practical science in Economics. Sen’s proposal has some problems closely related to this practical character: the heterogeneity and incommensurability of capabilities, its ambiguity concerning the use of the term “capability”, and the consequent lack of operative character of the CA. Sen recognizes th...
