Synopsis

From texts first published in 1972 up to her most recent work, this volume consists of seven articles that discuss Martha Nussbaum's work focusing on her treatments of ancient philosophy, civic education and liberal humanism. The volume provides a general overview of these three aspects of Nussbaum's philosophy and raises some concerns and critical questions about specific parts of her work. In addition, the volume is thematically organized; some articles deal with Nussbaum's readings and uses of ancient philosophers--specifically, Heraclitus, Plato and Aristotle, respectively--while the others examine her views on liberal education, cosmopolitanism, human rights and aging.
