Abstract

This article reviews debates about the application of Amartya Sen's capabilities theory to the understanding and regulation of media and communications. It argues that Sen's insistence on the complexity of ethical reasoning, and the underlying complexity of “the good,” makes the capabilities approach the most suitable general approach for considering what media justice is. In particular, the advantages of Sen's approach compared with Martha Nussbaum's specification of particular human capabilities are discussed. Possible supplements of capabilities thinking by the concept of recognition are also discussed, and their limits noted.

什么能力?发展森的传播研究道德理论
本文回顾了阿马蒂亚·森的能力理论在媒体与传播理解与管理中的应用。它认为,森坚持道德推理的复杂性,以及“善”的潜在复杂性,使得能力方法成为考虑什么是媒体正义的最合适的一般方法。特别地,与玛莎·努斯鲍姆对人类特殊能力的描述相比,森的方法的优势被讨论。还讨论了识别概念对能力思维的可能补充,并指出了它们的局限性。
