Sinossi
L'aspetto più interessante da approfondire del pensiero filosofico e politico dell'autrice è la sua capacità di rendere contemporanee le questioni dell'erica antica, della letteratura e del diritto, analizzando significativi luoghi teoretici della tradizione occidentale. Riflessione che l'ha portata, negli anni, a coltivare alcuni significativi filoni di ricerca: quello sugli autori della filosofia antica, utilizzati per comprendere e costruire la vita democratica; quello sulla questione complessa dei diritti umani e della loro connessione con il problema della democrazia; quello infine sull'umanizzazione dell'economia, con particolare riferimento al tema del capatibility approach.

This is a book about the American legal tradition around freedom of religion written by a well known philosopher. I had never read anything by Nussbaum and tried this after reading a feature about her in the NY Times magazine. It is very clearly written and thoughtful. It is obvious that there is a
She repeats herself a lot in this one and is definitely trying to reach a broader reading audience. It's a little rocky as far as sticking to her audience, but overall I would highly recommend this one to those who think that removing the word "God" from the pledge of allegiance would be the catacly Leggi tutto
