L’APPROCHE PAR LES CAPABILITES FACE AUX ECONOMIES DE BIEN-ETRE, THEORIE DU CHOIX SOCIAL ET THEORIE DE LA JUSTICE : GENESE D’UN NOUVEAU MODELE DE DEVELOPPEMENT

Résumé

This article aims to retrace the genesis of the capability approach as a new development model based on the expansion of freedoms. It attempts to shed some light on Amartya Sen's critical dialogue with utilitarianism, social choice theory, and the theory of justice in order to stand out through his own approach that unites ethics and economics. Points of over lap between these theories are raised, but also the sources of divergence around the question of justice in the assessment of individual advantage.
