Martha Nussbaum on Religion - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 906
Religion/Nussbaum: Religions can be granted certain privileges, but only to the extent that the individuals attached to them are strengthened. The freedom of religion may only be secured to the extent that there is freedom to give it up or to change it.(1)
Religion/Nussbaum: has an intrinsic value with regard to sensual and identity formation.
NussbaumVsFeminism: through a reductionist view of religion (when religion is seen as per se patriarchal and repressive towards women), no solidarity with those who are within a religious community is allowed
Brocker I 907
against patriarchal tendencies.(2)
>Paternalism/Nussbaum
, >Feminism.
Religion/Nussbaum: 1. consider each person as a purpose in itself
2. "moral constraint": according to it religion gets a high degree of freedom and protection, but only as long as the practice is compatible with constitutional principles.
Interventions in the relation are permitted to protect capabilities. A limit for concessions to religions is given when constitutional or human rights-based fundamental rights (the purpose of which is to protect capabilities) are not guaranteed.
