Amartya Sen's capability approach to education: A critical exploration
Journal of Philosophy of Education 37 (1):17–33 (2003)
Abstract
This article examines the underexplored relationship between Amartya Sen's ‘capability approach’ to human well-being and education. Two roles which education might play in relation to the development of capacities are given particular attention: (i) the enhancement of capacities and opportunities and (ii) the development of judgement in relation to the appropriate exercise of capacities.My notes
