她從小在精英家庭長大，卻選擇逃離那個世界去追逐戲劇夢。她在哈佛攻讀古典哲學，卻遭到終身教職的拒絕。但她沒有因此退縮，反而以更強大的姿態站了出來，成為當代最重要的哲學家之一。
瑪莎努斯鮑姆，一九四七年生於紐約，現任芝加哥大學法律與倫理學傑出教授。她的研究跨越古希臘哲學、政治哲學、女性主義、法律哲學與情感理論，以超過二十五本著作深刻影響了哲學界和公共政策領域。
她提出的能力取向理論，與諾貝爾獎得主阿馬蒂亞森合作發展，重新定義了何謂正義與人類繁盛。她力排眾議捍衛情感在道德生活中的核心地位。她親身走入法庭，用哲學為弱勢群體發聲。她也以一本不是為了利潤，成為全球捍衛人文教育最有力的聲音。
她獲得了京都獎、柏格魯恩獎、霍爾貝格獎、巴拉贊獎，以及全球六十九所大學的名譽學位。她的一生告訴我們，哲學不是象牙塔裡的遊戲，而是為了人類尊嚴永不停止的戰鬥。今天，就讓Jenny帶你走進這位哲學女王的精彩世界。
She grew up in an elite family but chose to escape it, chasing a dream on the stage. She earned her PhD at Harvard but was denied tenure. Yet she did not retreat. She came back stronger, and today she stands as one of the most important philosophers of the modern era.
Martha Nussbaum was born in New York City in 1947. She is currently the Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics at the University of Chicago, with joint appointments in the Law School and the Philosophy Department. Her work spans ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, political philosophy, feminism, philosophy of law, and the theory of emotions. She has authored more than 25 books that have profoundly influenced philosophy, public policy, and global debates on justice and human rights.
Her capabilities approach, developed in dialogue with Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, reframes justice around what each person is genuinely able to do and to be. Her philosophical defense of the emotions challenges centuries of rationalist tradition. Her expert court testimony put philosophy directly to work in real legal battles. And her book Not for Profit became one of the most powerful defenses of humanities education in the modern world.
She has received the Kyoto Prize, the Berggruen Prize, the Holberg Prize, the Balzan Prize, and honorary degrees from 69 universities around the world. Her life is proof that philosophy is not an escape from the human condition. It is a commitment to face it head on, and to fight for the dignity of every person.
