Abstract

I examine the connection established by Kant between Enlightenment and publicity, and Amartya Sen’s conception of human capabilities, which is taken to be an enlightened approach. I argue that Sen’s enlightened appeal to public discussion is a flaw of his theory, because formal capabilities should be complemented by notions that go beyond that narrow notion of enlightenment, such as wellbeing, value and social justice.
