Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This essay considers the basic capability equality ideal of social justice developed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum and espoused by the latter. I argue that this ideal shares the flaws of any sufficientarian conception of justice, that holds taht above all as many as possible should be sustained at a good enough level. Sufficiency's flaws emerge plainly when we consider a rival prioritarian justice ideal. This essay also criticizes making capability (real freedom) rather than functionings the focus of social justice norms. Justice is concerned with maximization and fair distribution of human well-being, excellent human functioning.
