Brocker I 891 Freedom/NussbaumVsSen/Nussbaum: More than Amartya Sen, Nussbaum is concerned with defining a core of certain "capabilities" as an indispensable basic asset. In other words: to "substantial" behaves "procedural" as a counter-concept.(1) >Capabilities/Nussbaum SenVsVs/SenVsNussbaum/Dierksmeier: But it was precisely the highlight of Sen's "substantive freedom" that the procedural and participatory moment was by no means pushed to the periphery, but rather moved to the centre. >Freedom/Sen, >Capabilities/Sen. 1.
