(A. Sen and His Theory of Justice)
Today the discussions about justice develop along two lines going back to Enlight- enment.

Sen’s innovative approach to justice his theory requires further articula- tion of questions such as: What is the relevant standard by which to measure the ex- tent of justice: capabilities, or functioning’s? Which capabilities are to be included when evaluating justice? Which distributive rule is to be applied here? What role does the individual responsibility play in evaluating justice?
