Resumo: This paper's aim is, by bibliographical research, to compare three distinct theories of justice: utilitarianism, Ronald Dworkin's resources egalitarianism and Amartya Sen's capabilities approach. We determined the insufficiency of utilitarianism's perspective because it obscures the plurality contained in the complex human values, it neglects the role of agency in moral and ethics and it relies in a blindly calculating methodology. Dwokin in resources egalitarianism encompasses a test to assert the equity of resources distribution between people belonging to a society. Sen creates a theory focused in people's capabilities to live the life they value, transferring the focus from the means to the ends. We conclude that the resources and capabilities dimensions should be reciprocally explored in each of these authors, in order to avoid the negligence to those factors that influence the conversion of income in quality of life and to push away the risks of the consolidation of a paternalistic State.

Constatou-se a insuficiência da perspectiva utilitarista em virtude de obscurecer a pluralidade ínsita aos complexos valores humanos, de negligenciar o papel da agência na moral e na ética e por apostar em uma metodologia cegamente calculista. O igualitarismo de recursos de Dworkin, por sua vez, propõe um teste para aferir a equidade de distribuição de recursos entre os membros de uma sociedade.Já Sen elabora uma teoria focada nas capacidades das pessoas para viverem a vida que valorizam, transferindo o enfoque dos meios para os fins. Conclui-se que as dimensões dos recursos e das capacidades devem ser reciprocamente exploradas em cada um desses autores, de modo a evitar a negligência aos fatores que influenciam a conversão de renda em qualidade de vida e afastar os riscos da consolidação de um Estado paternalista.Universidade Nove de Julho - Uninove2020-06-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/thesisjuris/article/view/1750910.5585/rtj.v9i1.17509Revista Thesis Juris; v. 9 n. 1 (2020): (jan./jun.); 185-2072317-3580reponame:Revista Thesis Jurisinstname:Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)instacron:UNINOVEporhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/thesisjuris/article/view/17509/8274Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Thesis Jurishttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarros Leal Victor, MarceloSampaio Siqueira, Natércia2020-06-23T22:57:25Zoai:ojs.periodicos.uninove.br:article/17509Revistahttps://periodicos.uninove.br/thesisjurisPRIhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/thesisjuris/oaithesis@uninove.br2317-35802317-3580opendoar:2020-06-23T22:57:25Revista Thesis Juris - Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)false
