Nussbaum’s view holds that “the core of rational and moral personhood is something all human beings share, shaped though it may be in different ways by their differing social circumstances.
Nussbaum devotes much care to the composition of this list; in brief, it includes: Being able to live to the end of a human life of normal length. Being able to have good health, adequate nutrition, adequate shelter, opportunities for sexual satisfaction and choice in reproduction, and mobility.
Nussbaum contends that the theory that best represents our intuitions is the capabilities approach. The intuition that grounds the capabilities, according to Nussbaum, is the intuition of a dignified human life whereby people have the capability to pursue their conception of the good in cooperation with others.
Nussbaum’s capabilities approach is centered around the notion of individual human dignity. Given Nussbaum’s contention that the goal of the capabilities approach is to produce capabilities for each and every person, the capabilities below belong to individual persons, rather than to groups.
Capability refers to the set of valuable functionings that a person has effective access to. Thus, a person’s capability represents the effective freedom of an individual to choose between different functioning combinations – between different kinds of life – that she has reason to value.
