In Development as Freedom Amartya Sen explains how in a world of unprecedented increase in overall opulence millions of people living in the Third World are still unfree. Even if they are not technically slaves, they are denied elementary freedoms and remain imprisoned in one way or another by economic poverty, social deprivation, political tyranny or cultural authoritarianism. The main purpose of development is to spread freedom and its 'thousand charms' to the unfree citizens. Freedom, Sen persuasively argues, is at once the ultimate goal of social and economic arrangements and the most efficient means of realizing general welfare. Social institutions like markets, political parties, legislatures, the judiciary, and the media contribute to development by enhancing individual freedom and are in turn sustained by social values. Values, institutions, development, and freedom are all closely interrelated, and Sen links them together in an elegant analytical framework. By asking 'What is the relation between our collective economic wealth and our individual ability to live as we would like?' and by incorporating individual freedom as a social commitment into his analysis Sen allows economics once again, as it did in the time of Adam Smith, to address the social basis of individual well-being and freedom.
Amartya Sen is the Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Economic Science. He has been President of the Indian Economic Association, the American Economic Association, the International Economic Association and the Econometric Society. He has taught at Calcutta, Delhi, Oxford, Cambridge, the London School of Economics, and Harvard.

評分0 照例先说点儿题外话,时间宝贵的同学可以直接跳过。 我承认,与森相比,我对自由理解甚浅。 然而,我仍有自由谈谈自由这个话题。当然,由于众所周知的原因,这篇文章很有可能谈得不够直截了当、淋漓尽致。但是,我还是要诚实地向诸位坦白,谈得不好的主要原...
評分几年前看了这本书,非常赞赏。今天看Sunstein的Republic.com 2.0,里面提到阿玛蒂亚·森的著名论断:民主国家不会产生饥荒。这个论断也许很正确而且重要。然而,无论是森本人,还是许多读者,都容易据此作出一个推论:想解决贫困与饥荒,那就发展民主。Sunstein就是这样推...
評分第10章 文化与人权 10.1三种批评 对于支撑人权言论的整个概念结构一般有三个相当不同的考虑因素,包括“正当性批评”、“逻辑连贯性批评”和“文化性批评”。 10.2正当性批评 此类批评的共同点是坚持必须把权利看作是“后于”体制的工具,而不是一种“先定”的伦理利益。综...
