VETHENCOURT, Fabiola. Sen’s objections against Rawls’ view on primary goods. EPISTEME [online]. 2009, vol.29, n.2, pp.63-88. ISSN 0798-4324.

This article studies the objections raised by Amartya Sen against John Rawls’ view on primary goods, as well as the corresponding responses of the latter. It is sought to assess whether there is an irreconcilable position between both authors when referring to specific and fundamental matters of justice. Through an interpretation of the arguments held by both authors, we found out that there is reconciliation between them after all. In fact, the horizon of analysis posed by Sen represents a fundamental contribution to Rawls’ view on primary goods.
