Abstract
This paper explores Nussbaum's “capabilities approach” and shows how she built up the basic entitlements of animals through this approach. On the other hand, I also point out the shortcomings of Nussbaum's theory, especially the part she dealt with the conflicts between humans and animals in terms of capabilities development, which she does not provide a clear solution. I propose solutions for Nussbaum's problem in a threefold analysis. The first is the order of value of life of humans and animals. Second, I try to establish different levels of capabilities. Finally, certain moral principles are constructed according to the capabilities approach to help us to solve the conflicts. As a result, Nussbaum's theory would solve more satisfactorily some of the issues of animal justice. |
