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 a book from a different stage of her career, starting
with her first book, The Fragility of Goodness and ending with her most
recent, The Cosmopolitan Tradition.
