John Rawls e Amartya Sen em busca da justiça
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, Florianópolis, 2014.Abstract : The current discussion on justice is widely influenced by John Rawls?s thesis, developed in his books A Theory of Justice (1971) and Political Liberalism (1993) that renewed political philosophy. Among them are included the problem of justice, impartiality criterion, peoples motivations to justice and the object of justice, understood within a conception of justice that articulates moral and political values. Recently, those thesis were criticized by the economist Amartya Sen?s book The Idea of Justice (2009). It?s offered on it an approach to justice answering what it regards to be the genuine question of justice according to the peoples actual motivations, that is, the perception of injustices in world which can be removed. In order to answer his question, Sen rejects the necessity of a complete ordering of our values and beliefs about justice in a theoretical conception. Institutions as subjects of justice give way to an evaluation of justice focused on people?s life conditions and the impartiality criterion is understood in a ?open? way. This disagreement is accessed as a debate of thinkers answering different problems concerning different objects, pursuing a common goal, that is: to make justice compatible with peoples actual motivations in order to bring it about within our social, political and economical reality. Recognizing the relative merits of both theoretical proposals, Rawlsian proposal is advocated against Sen's accusations through the thesis that bringing about justice involves appealing to reasonable values and behavior historically consolidated in democratic societies. It is also emphasized the importance of reflection on the role of institutional procedures in the production of injustice
ÉTICA PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO: a inclusão de conteúdos sociais na Faculdade de Ciências Econômicas da UNR.
Full text linkEste artigo descreve o projeto feito por oito alunos do Programa Amartya Sen para incluir temas relacionados à ética e à gestão social no currículo da Faculdade de Ciências Econômicas da Universidade Nacional de Rosário - UNR. A pesquisa é descritiva e para a coleta de dados foi feita uma pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, em relação ao programa Amartya Sen, compromisso social e contexto argentino e seus antecedentes. O projeto de mudança curricular fundamentou a pesquisa. Três disciplinas serão contempladas no primeiro momento com a mudança e, no ano de 2011, se aprovado no Conselho Diretor da Faculdade, os conteúdos ministrados serão incluídos também nas avaliações das disciplinas. Os temas, entretanto, já são ditados desde 2010, pois já receberam o aval dos Chefes das respectivas Cátedras. Iniciativas como estas devem ser estudadas e replicadas, destacando a importância de uma formação integral e humana pela universidade e da necessidade de vincular a ética à economia
Amartya Sen: cuando la economía se interesó por las personas.
No full textRecuerdos de su infancia, impresiones y lecturas en su juventud... «Un hogar en el mundo», el libro de memorias de Amartya Sen publicado por Taurus, permite encontrar en su biografía las razones o conexiones que hicieron posible su particular manera de entender y humanizar la economía. Ampliar el campo tradicional de la economía, humanizándola, ha sido el gran logro de Amartya Sen (Santiniketan, India, 1933), el factor decisivo a la hora de convertirlo en un prestigioso y premiado economista que tocó techo en el año 1998 con la concesión del Nobel. Por mucho que tocara techo, Sen nunca dejó de pisar el mismo suelo que sus compatriotas y tenerlos presentes: así aprendió que la economía tradicional, ortodoxa, partía de un ser humano artificial, inexistente, ajeno a la realidad de hechos y afectos que influyen sobre la toma de decisiones como pueden ser desde el lugar de nacimiento hasta los principios éticos. El autor de este texto, el economista y exministro, Jordi Sevilla lo recuerda y traza un perfil biográfico e intelectual de Amartya Sen al hilo de sus Memorias. Un hogar en el mundo, publicadas por Taurus. Destaca, en su lectura, la importancia de algunas vivencias, como la hambruna bengalí de 1943, decisivas en su aprendizaje teórico y en su enfoque abierto y multiperspectivista de la economía. Hablando de la teoría, no ha de pasarse por alto la influencia de figuras como Kenneth Arrow y Karl Marx que Sen estudió y revisó con análisis innovadores y audaces
Can the Capability Approach be Evaluated within the Frame of Mainstream Economics? A Methodological Analysis
Full text linkThe aim of this article is to examine the capability approach of Amartya Sen and mainstream economic theory in terms of their epistemological, methodological and philosophical/cultural aspects. The reason for undertaking this analysis is the belief that Sen’s capability approach, contrary to some economists’ claim, is uncongenial to mainstream economic views on epistemology and methodology (not on ontologically). However, while some social scientists regard that Sen, on the whole, is a mainstream economist, his own approach strongly criticizes both the theory and practice of mainstream economics.Amartya Sen, Mainstream economics, Methodological individualism.
The Contributions of Professor Amartya Sen in the Field of Human Rights
Full text linkThis paper analyses the work of the Nobel Prize winning economist Professor Amartya Sen from the perspective of human rights. It assesses the ways in which Sen's research agenda has deepened and expanded human rights discourse in the disciplines of ethics and economics, and examines how his work has promoted cross-fertilisation and integration on this subject across traditional disciplinary divides. The paper suggests that Sen's development of a 'scholarly bridge' between human rights and economics is an important and innovative contribution that has methodological as well as substantive importance and that provides a prototype and stimuli for future research. It also establishes that the idea of fundamental freedoms and human rights is itself an important gateway into understanding the nature, scope and significance of Sen's research. The paper concludes with a brief assessment of the challenges to be addressed in taking Sen's contributions in the field of human rights forward.Amartya Sen, human rights, poverty, freedom, obligation, capability approach, meta-rights, entitlements, opportunity freedom, liberty-rights
As críticas de Amartya Sen às teorias de justiça focadas em arranjos
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, Florianópolis, 2015.A presente pesquisa procura oferecer uma avaliação das críticas que o economista indiano Amartya Kumar Sen faz às Teorias de Justiça Focadas em Arranjos. Começa com a justificação da exigência de que os problemas de justiça devam ser refletidos pelo uso da razão pública e apresenta as características das Teorias de Justiça Focadas em Arranjos, um tipo de abordagem sobre os problemas de justiça derivada da tradição contratualista. Segue por uma exposição das deficiências que Amartya Sen identifica nessa abordagem e das vantagens que ele percebe em sua própria teoria de justiça. Confrontando as conclusões do economista indiano com as discussões deflagradas pela Teoria do Direito, com a perspectiva da metodologia das Ciências Sociais de Karl Popper e com as críticas que as receberam, revela que muitas reflexões já haviam sido feitas e que outras não foram percebidas como adequadas. No entanto, conclui que várias lições ainda podem ser aproveitadas.Abstract : The present research aims to provide a review of the criticisms that the Indian economist Amartya Kumar Sen does to the Justice Theories Focused on Arrangements. It begins with the justification for the requirement that justice problems must be reflected through the use of public reason and presents the characteristics of Justice Theories Focused on Arrangements, a kind of approach to the justice problems derived from the contractarian tradition. Follows by a presentation of the deficiencies that Amartya Sen identifies in this approach and the advantages that he realizes on his own theory of justice. By confronting the conclusions of the Indian economist with the discussions triggered by Legal Theory, with the perspective of the Social Science's methodology of Karl Popper and the criticisms that have received them, reveals that many considerations had already been made and others were not perceived as right ones. However, concludes that several lessons can still be enjoyed
