Abstract

This chapter reflects on the meta questions of human flourishing, well-being, and justice, and critically looks at ideas of choices, well-being, and freedom from a human development standpoint. Freedom is the pivot around which human development revolves, where freedoms are of two kinds, personal freedom and process freedom, each of which has different public policy implications. The chapter discusses both process and opportunity freedoms and distinguishes them from other conventional notions of freedom. It also deals with the process of choice and the act of choice at the individual level and its relationship with human flourishing. Further, the role of agency is highlighted, where both individual as well as collective agency are established as important to bring about a change in the society.
