Das Potential der Armutsperspektive

Der „Blick von den Rändern“ im Werk von Sen, Nussbaum und Papst Franziskus

Abstract

Pope Francis, Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum often choose the perspective of the marginalized to gain a clearer view of the whole from their distant, and yet severely affected, vantage point. This paper outlines the nature and multiple potentials of this shift in perspective in their own works and through a research example on “the meaning of participation for sustainable development” in Indian slums and rural villages.
