Martha Nussbaum and Politics
Providing an overview of the political and ethical philosophy of Martha Nussbaum, this book presents the ideas of this significant philosopher and shows how her thought, while rooted in the traditions of classical philosophy, illuminates a number of current, controversial issues. The book takes a chronological approach and aims to show how Nussbaum’s thought has continually grown and developed. It takes the reader through her views on ethics, political philosophy, feminism and women’s rights, LGBT issues, animal rights, religious tolerance and accommodation, contemporary politics, and global justice. It also explores contested areas of her thought, such as the extent to which she is a perfectionist liberal, challenges to her view that religion merits special accommodations, utilitarian objections to the capabilities approach, criticisms of her brand of liberal feminism, and cosmopolitan objections to her nation-state-based liberal conception of global justice. Each chapter focuses on

Vrede og tilgivelse
I dette centrale værk fra en af verdens førende filosoffer undersøges vrede og tilgivelse, og begge begreber sættes gennem Nussbaums indsigtsfulde analyse i et forbløffende nyt lys. Vrede kan både være personligt og politisk drevet, og mens mange tror, at retfærdigheden ikke kan værnes om uden vrede over uretfærdigheden, viser og advarer Nussbaum mod en destruktiv side af vreden.Nussbaum undersøger vreden både i intime relationer, dagligdags interaktioner, på arbejdspladsen, i det strafferetlige system og i bevægelser for social forandring. Værket er således et værktøj, vi har akut brug for til at forstå tidens protestbevægelser, og hvordan de kan føre til reel forandring og ikke kun forbitrelse. “Martha C. Nussbaum er den største nulevende filosof.”Svend Brinkmann
