Martha Nussbaum Quotes
«Radical Evil in the Lockean State: The Neglect of Political Emotions.»
Author: Martha Nussbaum
«is among America's most prolific and prominent public intellectuals. ... She has worked extensively on education, on development in the Third World, on law, on homosexuality, and above all on the injustices of gender ... she is a dedicated opponent of all that is glitzy and trashy in modern culture.»

And we look at capabilities rather than actual functioning because we think it's the opportunities that are important. People should be free to choose which ones to use.»
Author: Martha Nussbaum
