Some other quotes about vulnerability that I like:⁣ ⁣ “The bottom line is that vulnerability is scary and it feels really dangerous, but it’s not nearly as dangerous or scary as spending your life on the outside looking in and wondering, ‘What if I had chosen to show up?’” –Brené Brown⁣ ⁣ “It may be uncomfortable to express your own thoughts and feelings. It may also be uncomfortable to hear the truth of someone else’s current thoughts and feelings. But those thoughts and feelings should never be suppressed. The only way that anyone can be in a real relationship is if those current truths are out on the table. Otherwise we can not really love the person we think we love, because we don’t even see the truth of who they are in this moment. We are in essence, in love with an illusion. We are in essence, asking people to love an illusion of ourselves unless we are willing to be vulnerable and open enough to show them the truth of who we are in this moment.” –Teal Scott ⁣ ⁣ “To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness to the world, an ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own control, that can lead you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very important about the condition of the ethical life: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something rather fragile, but whose very particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility.” –Martha Nussbaum⁣ ⁣

'La Calidad de Vida' de Martha Nussbaum y Amartya Sen; Datos Generales, 'Prólogo' por Lal Jawardena e 'Introducción' por Martha Nussbaum y Amartya Sen

El libro 'La Calidad de Vida' fue publicado en 1996 como parte de la colección de Economía del Fondo de Cultura Económica. Este es una traducción por Roberto Reyes Mazzoni del original en inglés de 1993 ‘The Quality of Life’, publicado por la Oxford University Press y The United Nations University como parte de la colección Studies in Development Economics de WIDER (World Institute for Development Economics Research), que es un centro de investigación de The United Nations University que inició sus funciones en 1985 en Helsinki, Finlandia.

En la obra Martha Nussbaum y Amartya Sen recogen numerosos ensayos y comentarios a ellos provenientes de una conferencia que organizaron en WIDER en 1988. Como se señala en el Prólogo escrito por Lal Jawardena, el entonces director del centro, el propósito de aquel evento fue alentar el diálogo y la futura cooperación entre académicos de las disciplinas de la Economía y de la Filosofía para tratar el tema de la calidad de vida, que es del interés de ambas, con miras a producir resultados asimilables para quienes se encargan de tomar las grandes decisiones.

Por una parte, a nivel macro se critica la burda utilización del ingreso o PBI per capita como indicador del bienestar humano, pues también es importante considerar la distribución de la riqueza y la complejidad de evaluar diversas áreas de la vida humana. Por otra parte, a nivel micro se pone en entredicho que la maximización de la utilidad individual sea la manera más apropiada de medir la calidad de la vida de las personas, ante lo cual algunos optan por buscar una versión refinada del utilitarismo y otros por apartarse de él para poder enfocarse en medir otras cosas, como las capacidades de la gente, aquello que se es capaz de hacer y de ser en los diversos aspectos de la vida.

Estas ideas son desarrolladas a lo largo del libro en los diversos ensayos y comentarios, mas son presentadas nuevamente de manera panorámica en la introducción redactada por Nussbaum y Sen. En ella a propósito de un epígrafe extraído de la obra literaria 'Tiempos Difíciles' de Charles Dickens se llega rápidamente a la cuestión de cómo medir apropiadamente la calidad de vida. La pregunta central es la siguiente: ¿Cómo se determinan la prosperidad de una parte del mundo y la calidad de vida de sus habitantes? Para empezar, no basta solamente con saber de cuánto dinero se dispone, dado que también son importantes asuntos como cuán capaces son las personas para conducir sus vidas, cuál es su expectativa de vida, cómo es su salud, cuán buena es su educación, qué tan satisfactorio y digno es su trabajo y, en general, de qué libertades gozan como ciudadanas. Se necesita, pues, una descripción enriquecida de lo que las personas pueden hacer y ser en su día a día.

En la introducción, además, los compiladores, Nussbaum y Sen, dan un breve anticipo de las cuatro partes del libro: 'Vidas y Capacidades', 'Tradiciones, Relativismo y Objetividad', 'Las Vidas de las Mujeres y la Justicia Entre los Géneros' y 'Evaluación Política y Economía del Bienestar'. En la primera parte se busca cuáles podrían ser criterios adecuados para examinar la calidad de vida. En la segunda se explora qué normas elegir para evaluar diferentes partes del mundo, si unas locales o unas universales. La tercera trata sobre la calidad de la vida de las mujeres, que es un asunto particularmente apremiante en el mundo contemporáneo. La cuarta, por último, presenta relaciones entre la calidad de vida, la economía del bienestar y la formación de la política pública.

#inktober2018 #day22 #roles : the big one, the job that seperates us from the animals #philosopher, and I gotta admit I thought #women weren't allowed to do this until like the 60s or something, however I would bet against my assumption because we have pythagorian philosopher Theano, neoplatonist #hypatia and #aspasia formed an intellectual hub at her house that drew the likes of socrates to the scene. She got mentions by plato and xenophon in their writings. Anyway more recently female formulators of #thegoodlife theories include #marywollstonecraft #simonedebeauvoir representing for my team of #existentialists #hannaharendt #polymath #margaretcavendish currently active thinkers in #marthanussbaum and #judithbutler and #sallyhaslanger. There have even been embarassing female philosophers like #aynrand with her garbage objectivism! A veritable smorgasbord with something for everyone. Philosophy may also be unique in that it rarely if ever is depicted in popular culture, yet people everywhere, always have been drawn to the pursuit of understanding what indeed constitutes a good life, and men have not succeeded in keeping it a boys only club, even when it went down in the gymnasium, those philosophy bro-dude-jocks... #sarahsilverman did a great piece with #willferrell as socrates I recommend watching it on youtube. #inktober #toga #inktoga #watercolor #ink #brush #fineliner https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQMGJhnJ5O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yttyeef55thn

“Trust involves opening oneself to the possibility of betrayal, hence to a very deep form of harm. It means relaxing the self-protective strategies with which we usually go through life, attaching great importance to actions by the other over which one has little control. It means, then, living with a certain degree of helplessness.” #marthanussbaum #american #philosopher #readafuckingbook #angerandforgiveness https://www.instagram.com/p/CF_7YGUhHw_/?igshid=1gy00dmp909a5

Love isn’t a refusal to see flaws or mistakes; that’s Pollyannaism and it’s a form of anxiety-driven denial destined to end in disaster. Love is a sober embrace of harsh truths, a commitment to care and understand in the face of struggle. “Understanding someone’s suffering is the best gift you can give another person,” wrote Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh. “Understanding is love’s other name.” This holds true for loving ourselves just as much as it does for loving others. Yes, things are too often messy and scary and hard. Even still, we must face those realities if we want to love ourselves and others. Understanding and acceptance are essential to the art of love. As the psychologist Carl Rogers put it, “People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, ‘Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.’ I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”

The Fragility of Goodness

Some nights I fold my hands into fists and yell into the void:

“Fuck you, First Mover, for cursing me with consciousness. I did not ask for being, did not will my own contingency.”

And some nights I hear the world whisper, “it is good that you are”.

And other nights, I hear silence.

Philosopher Martha Nussbaum On Liberal Arts Education

Ever since I read her book Not For Profit, I've been drawn to University of Chicago professor Martha Nussbaum's take on the tension between economic and educational drive.  In this video, Nussbaum discusses not only the problem of placing economic need above all else, but does so with an expansive international perspective.

Seven Ways to Treat a Person as a Thing -

[loveandknowledge]

why do we hide from ourselves?

so i’m all alone at home. yet i still lock my bathroom door before i shower. why? is it purely out of habit? or does it reveal a deeper insecurity?  perhaps it’s the artificially constructed sense of shame. shame of not only our naked bodies, but shame of our true selves as well.  why do we feel this “primitive shame”, a shame “at the very fact of human imperfection”? why do we desire to hide our humanity, which manifests in an unrealistic and sometimes pathological wish to be invulnerable?  such unnecessary shame and disgust embodies “magical ideas of contamination, and impossible aspirations to purity that are just not in line with human life as we know it”.  we need to be suspicious of social conventions of shame, which are often unreliable guides to human behaviour. we need to let go of baseless prejudice and stigma arising from questionable feelings of disgust.  we need to... embrace what it means to be human.  - inspired by Martha C. Nussbaum in ‘Hiding from Humanity:��Disgust, Shame, and the Law’.
