Abstract
In Martha Nussbaum's thought, work is seen as a fundamental capability, not only as a means of subsistence, but also as an exercise of human freedom. Work must be done in such a way that it involves practical reason and affiliation, enabling individuals to act as thinking and socially integrated beings. Discrimination in the workplace, especially against women, limits their autonomy and personal development. Nussbaum argues that domestic and care work must be revalued and socially recognized. Politically, institutions must guarantee the freedom to work, without imposing a particular conception of work, and promote other related freedoms such as play and social interaction. The value of work lies in the freedom to do it, which contributes to personal fulfillment and participation in community life.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
