El enfoque de las capacidades: ¿Una teoría pedagógica?

Abstract

The book we are presenting, is focussed on the valence the investigations done by Martha Nussbaum have in the educational and pedagogical field, that is, in which it can be defined “the implicit pedagogy” of the Northamerican author.

The capability approach, elaborated in the best known writings of Nussbaum, calls forth in causa tout court the relation between two internal motivations of pedagogical arguing: the subject of human ability of being educated and the subject of development and growth process as self-realization.

The central element is the question related to how it may be possible to value the potential of the persons, that is, the capabilities, and why this assistance may guarantee an adequate and successful welfare.

The central element is the question related to how it may be possible to value the potential of the persons, that is, the capabilities, and why this assistance may guarantee an adequate and successful welfare.

That is why we could find in the philosopher’s book, together with colleagues joint authors of the text, some pedagogical “traces”, in the sense of many questions treated with, having a tissure of argumentations which calls forth some discussions being characteristic of the pedagogical “devices”.
