Opis

Drawing on material from perfectionist liberalism, capabilities approaches, human rights, relational ethics and virtue theory, Michael Hannis explores the one such area of interaction, the relationship between freedom and sustainability. The aim is to achieve some measure of commensurability by considering both as constitutive of, or means to the end of, human flourishing.
