Far from leading to the adoption of a value-neutral approach, however, ascribing importance to freedom?s agency value requires one to adopt a refined value-based approach. Binder employs an axiomatic framework in order to develop such an approach. She shows that a focus on freedom?s agency value has far reaching consequences for existing results in the freedom ranking literature: it requires one to move beyond a person?s given all-things-considered preferences to the values underlying a person?s preference formation. Furthermore, it requires, as Binder argues, one to account (only) for those differences between choice options which really matter to people. Binder illustrates the implications of her analysis for the evaluation of public policy and human development with the capability approach: only if sufficient importance is ascribed to freedom?s agency value can the capability approach keep its promises. . 410 0$aTheory and Decision Library A:, Rational Choice in Practical Philosophy and Philosophy of Science,$x0921-3384 ;$v53 606 $aPolitical philosophy 606 $aEthics 606 $aPhilosophy and social sciences 606 $aEconomic theory 606 $aOperations research 606 $aDecision making 606 $aPolitical Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E36000 606 $aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000 606 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000 615 0$aPolitical philosophy. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aPhilosophy and social sciences. 615 0$aEconomic theory. 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aDecision making. 615 14$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aEthics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods. 615 24$aOperations Research/Decision Theory. 676 $a658.403 700 $aBinder$b Constanze$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0909047 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337693803321 996 $aAgency, Freedom and Choice$92033372 997 $aUNINA
