Analysis On Theory Of Capability Development From Amartya Sen

To achieve social development is good wishes of every society and direction, while the development of the content and means of different perceptions will constitute a different concept of development, and the development of different concepts comes from different value judgments. Traditional concept of development from mainstream economics, the development has been dominated by the concept of legitimacy, and the main task of mainstream economics is the ethical doctrine of utilitarianism utility within the framework of analysis described in economic development or growth of wealth for the purpose of causality, the pursuit of so-called " utility maximization "," profit maximization" or "efficiency", on the one hand the people as a tool to create economic benefits, on the other hand ignore economic interests of distributive justice, ignoring "equality", which leads to a series of serious social problems, such as worsening environmental problems directly threaten human survival environment, holding wealth gap differentiation, but also affect social stability uncertainties; Moreover, the economic interests of the excessive esteem and birth economic benefits for the blind worship, this " idolatry " is the result of social ethical turpitude, food safety issues, social violence and other frequent underlying cause.Amartya Sen thinks that the traditional concept of development in the development process is the social problem arising from the incorrect value judgment, this value judgment errors are not been able to properly recognize people in the development process in the position, only the people as a means of pursuing economic interests, there is no recognized " human development ", the importance of which directly led to various social problems. Amartya Sen stressed in the center of the development process, the " human development " as a development purposes, but also as a measure of the level of development of the evaluation criteria. On this basis, Amartya Sen puts up with " functioning" and "capability" concepts, functioning reflects a person that is worth doing, or to achieve a variety of things or states, a person is its ability feasible possible to achieve a combination of functioning. In fact, the functioning of life reflects the characteristics of the functioning of all combinations of all possible to reflect the living state, then, a person’s ability to reflect on viable only this person now living state, representing a free, Sen called "substantive freedom".As can be seen, the free development concept and capability development concept is a feasible sides of the coin, the improvement of living conditions of a person means the essence of freedom of expansion, namely its ability to enhance viable. Thus, it can be evaluated from the perspective of capability; competency assessment can line the path.Amartya Sen put forth the free development concept, it caused extensive discussion in academia, mixed, after ten years of time, and domestic scholars Amartya Sen’s capability development also accumulated more literature. This ability of the relevant literature on the possible classification and carried out a comprehensive analysis concluded that most domestic scholars discuss the practical ability to focus on the evaluation of the significance of the elaboration path, and most views are the same with what Sen had expressed. It is ideas list and summary, while the lack of functional activities and viable capacity more profound connotation Discrimination on the point made by Sen almost fully accepted.Based on the literature review, the paper capacity from Connotation feasible, analyzes the ability of functional activities and viable content and the inter-relationship. Functional activities in accordance with the definition, this paper argues functional activities should have subjectively and objectively valuable diversity inherent subjectively valuable representation of the main activities on the functional identification of subjective, psychological state and by external environment, coupled with the functional diversity of the type of activities, the objective constitutes the functional activities of diversity. As for the functional activities and viable the relationships between capacity, the paper also made a vivid metaphor, like a machine, the functional activity "individually wrapped", similar to be able to accomplish a particular function of the "Components", and then all to the operation of the "Components" to be assembled to form a machine, all functions of the machine constitutes a state of existence. If you want to evaluate this machine, you can check this machine has the "Components" adequacy to meet basic needs or more. Thus, the ability to evaluate feasible path can be interpersonal comparisons. In this paper, the diversity of capability carried out a detailed analysis of the inherent ability of a viable distinction between pluralism and diversity of viable competitive ability. On the inherent diversity, the diversity of activities that the functional characteristics derived from the diversity of life, because the existence of interpersonal dissimilarity, the main functional activities on whether you have the ability or held attitude is different, thus constituting an inherent diversity. For competitive variety, respectively, for the evaluation of the effectiveness evaluation of the path and the path of wealth has been discrimination, utility itself is subjective, and as Keith· Hart, said:" subjectivist theory is a dead end." critical evaluation of the path of wealth, wealth does not deny the role of the standard of living, but people really value is life itself.This followed on the ability to evaluate capability path connotation. Amartya Sen who straightened position in the development process, thus, different from the traditional concept of development has brought a series of changes, the development process is seen as expanding people enjoying the essence of freedom in the process, while the freedom of a person’s essence is its practical ability, as a possible combination of functional activities, from life, but also reflects their living conditions, and thus possible collusion capacity development and living conditions, which means that ability to establish viable perspective for the development of the evaluation is the living conditions of human evaluation, which in Sen’s theory of development, acting as a bridge among living conditions, capability or substantial freedom, functioning. This article summarizes the ability to evaluate feasible path compared to the utility of wealth evaluate the advantages of the path that the ability to evaluate feasible path can get out of the quagmire of subjectivism, straighten development tools and development purposes, the achievement of equality and efficiency rebalancing, establishing personal development priority the concept of social development, and truly let the fruits of development to improve people’s lives, to personal development-based and incentive to promote social development.
