阿马蒂亚·森的自由思想，特别是他将发展视为自由的概念能够在多大程度上丰富女权主义经济学？森的自由概念（作为实现有价值目标的能力）有很多吸引力，并为分析性别不平等提供了重要的机会。与此同时，森最近强调自由作为判断个人福祉和社会发展的主导价值也存在风险，尤其是对于女权主义分析而言。我们将风险描述为对自由概念的阐述不足和过度延伸。借鉴森的早期著作和多位女权主义理论家的经验，我们建议对能力、福祉和价值进行更加多元化的描述，强调女性和男性生活中自由以及自由之外的价值观的独特和实质性方面。我们通过女性作为照顾者的经济角色来说明这一点。
To what extent can Amartya Sen's ideas on freedom, especially his conceptualization of development as freedom, enrich feminist economics? Sen's notion of freedom (as the capability to achieve valued ends) has many attractions and provides important opportunities to analyze gender inequalities. At the same time, Sen's recent emphasis on freedom as the dominant value in judging individual well-being and societal development also contains risks, not least for feminist analysis. We characterize the risks as an underelaboration and overextension of the concept of freedom. Drawing on Sen's earlier work and various feminist theorists, we suggest instead a more emphatically pluralist characterization of capability, well-being, and value, highlighting the distinct and substantive aspects of freedom, as well as of values besides freedom, in the lives of women and men. We illustrate this with reference to women's economic role as caregivers.
