Originally developed by Nobel Prize Laureate Amartya Sen, Martha Nussbaum has sought to extend this approach beyond its mainly instrumental role into a tangible foundation for a full-fledged ethical-political theory of the good. However, this move has attracted a great number of criticisms levelled against Nussbaum’s specific version of the capabilities approach. In this thesis, I identify three main groups of observations under which said criticisms can be classified, and assess their respective strength and tenability. The first group includes various charges of ambiguity and underdetermination befalling the proposed object of distribution by the capabilities approach. I dispute this claim, pointing out that these charges can be traced back to difficulties associated with the respective writing styles of Sen and Nussbaum, and that a successful reconstruction of the capabilities object can in fact be achieved by examining their initial writings dealing with this approach. Also, I point out that a successful operationalization of the capabilities approach already has been achieved for some time now, as attested by numerous discussions that have flourished during the last decade. Furthermore, I argue that any remaining worries can be alleviated by advocating for a standardized account of the capabilities metric, based heavily on its initial conceptual core, and by disregarding some of the more problematic formulations that have initially been made by Sen and Nussbaum. The second group claims that Nussbaum’s attempts to defend her capabilities approach by way of her ‘four approaches to moral reasoning’, together with her treatment of four relativistic counterarguments levelled against it, is both problematic and inadequate. Against these assertions, I advocate for the use of an" @default.
