Today the discussions about justice develop along two lines going back to Enlightenment. The first one is contractarian while the second one is based on a comparative approach to justice, endorsing the establishment of a society with more justice achieved through getting away with the concrete injustices. The article sheds light on Sen’s argumentation as offered in his Idea of justice. The author suggests that regardless of A. Sen’s innovative approach to justice his theory requires further articulation of questions such as: What is the relevant standard by which to measure the extent of justice: capabilities, or functioning’s? Which capabilities are to be included when evaluating justice? Which distributive rule is to be applied here? What role does the individual responsibility play in evaluating justice?

The paper is focused on Sen’s analysis of how the concepts such as utility, material resources, capabilities, freedom or social functioning are related to each other (as these are used in explanations of human well-being and welfare). The question is, whether, regarding human well-being and welfare, there is such a concept among them which should have the priority over the other ones. Opposed are the interpretations reducing welfare to utility (a person’s income, the growing GDP and other monetary indicators) while Sen’s approach is appreciated for its taking into account the different individual needs and pointing to corrective measurements needed to assure the persons the dignity of their lives. In the second part of the paper the possible implementation of Sen’s approach is discussed.
