Amartya Sen has made deep and lasting contributions to the academic
disciplines of economics, philosophy, and the social sciences more
broadly. He has engaged in policy dialogue and public debate,
advancing the cause of a human development focused policy agenda,
and a tolerant and democratic polity. This argumentative Indian has
made the case for the poorest of the poor, and for plurality in
cultural perspective. It is not surprising that he has won the
highest awards, ranging from the Nobel Prize in Economics to the
Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honor. This public
recognition has gone hand in hand with the affection and admiration
that Amartya's friends and students hold for him.
This volume of essays, written in honor of his 75th birthday by his
students and peers, covers the range of contributions that Sen has
made to knowledge. They are written by some of the world's leading
economists, philosophers and social scientists, and address topics
such as ethics, welfare economics, poverty, gender, human
development, society and politics. The second volume covers the
topics of Human Development and Capabilities; Gender and Household;
Growth, Poverty and Policy; and Society, Politics and History. It
is a fitting tribute to Sen's own contributions to the discourse on
Society, Institutions and Development.
