(3.33) | Keine | In this major book Martha Nussbaum, one of the most innovative and influential philosophical voices of our time, proposes a kind of feminism that is genuinely international, argues for an ethical underpinning to all thought about development planning and public policy, and dramatically moves beyond the abstractions of economists and philosophers to embed thought about justice in the concrete reality of the struggles of poor women. Nussbaum argues that international political and economic thought must be sensitive to gender difference as a problem of justice, and that feminist thought must begin to focus on the problems of women in the third world. Taking as her point of departure the predicament of poor women in India, she shows how philosophy should undergird basic constitutional principles that should be respected and implemented by all governments, and used as a comparative measure of quality of life across nations.… (mehr) |

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. We come from our family's house to live in our husband's house. If we mention our name in this house, they say, "Oh, that is another family.'' Yet when it comes to working, they say, "What you earn is ours, because you are in this family's house,'' or "because you are working on this family's land.'' Let the land be registered in our names, so that we will not always feel like we are in someone else's family.
Santokbehn, agricultural laborer, Ahmedabad  In your joint family, I am known as the second daughter-in-law. All these years I have known myself as no more than that. Today, after fifteen years, as I stand alone by the sea, I know that I have another
identity, which is my relationship with the universe and its creator. That gives me the courage to write this letter as myself, not as the second daughter-in-law of your family. . . .
I am not one to die easily. That is what I want to say in this letter.
Rabindranath Tagore, "Letter from a Wife'' (1914) On the roads I have had banyan trees planted, which will give shade
to beasts and men. I have had mango groves planted and I have had wells dug and rest houses built every nine miles . . . And I have had many watering places made everywhere for the use of beasts and men. . . This benefit is important . . . I have done these things in order that my people might conform to Dhamma moral law.
Ashoka, emperor, third century B.C. (edict translated by Romila Thapar) We not only want a piece of the pie, we also want to choose the flavor, and to know how to make it ourselves.

This study of human capabilities as the basis for fundamental political principles focuses on the lives of women in developing countries. I . DEVELOPMENT AND SEX EQUALITY
Women in much of the world lack support for fundamental functions of a human life. They are less well nourished than men, less healthy, more vulnerable to physical violence and sexual abuse. They are much less likely than men to be literate, and still less likely to have preprofessional or technical education. | |
