Abstract

This article extends the capabilities conception of individuals developed by Davis, understanding capabilities as relationships. I first introduced the main concepts that are useful for this extension, namely those of agency and capabilities. Then, I showed that agency refers to a rational and responsible exercise of capabilities through Ricoeurs analysis of Sens earlier works. I successively developed the concept of capabilities as relationships through the distinction between intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships: in this framework, self-scrutiny and relationality, respectively, become the leading capabilities of these two relationships. From this extension of the capabilities conception of the individual, two concepts arise with a certain strength, namely those of responsibility and relationality. This extension of the capabilities conception of the individual in economics also in terms of interpersonal relationships emphasises that this social conception of the individual is characterised by relationality. Thanks to responsibility and relationality, the capabilities conception of the individual might be applied in fields such as contemporary civil economy and ecological economics.

经济学中个人能力概念的拓展:关系与责任
本文扩展了Davis提出的个人能力概念,将能力理解为关系。我首先介绍了对这个扩展有用的主要概念,即代理和能力。然后,我通过里科斯对他早期作品的分析表明,代理是指理性的、负责任的能力行使。我先后通过对人际关系和人际关系的区分,发展了能力即关系的概念:在这个框架下,自我审视和关系性分别成为这两种关系的主导能力。从个人能力概念的这种延伸中,出现了两个具有一定力量的概念,即责任和关系。经济学中个人能力概念的延伸,在人际关系方面也强调了个人的社会概念的特点是关系。由于责任和关系,个体的能力概念可以应用于当代公民经济学和生态经济学等领域。JEL分类:B31, B410, B59, Z13
