Abstract

Se basant sur diverses caractéristiques de l’éthique aristotélicienne (réalisme moral, essentialisme internaliste et universalisme contextuel), l’article définit les finalités du développement économique comme un ensemble ouvert et incomplet de différentes composantes incommensurables. Cette incomplétude et incommensurabilité posent de sérieux problèmes en matière de choix et d’évaluation de ces finalités en termes de justice internationale. Ces problèmes, loin d’être surmontés par une réduction quantitative des composantes de la qualité de vie et une universalisation de ces mesures, se doivent d’être abordés par une approche délibérative de la rationalité, laissant place à une évaluation contextuelle et normative des finalités à poursuivre. L’article propose une approche aristotélicienne du développement humain, c’est-à-dire un développement économique orienté vers une pluralité de finalités incommensurables définies à partir de la nature humaine, et animé par une rationalité pratique impliquant une perception contextuelle ainsi qu’une délibération normative quant aux finalités à poursuivre ayant pour horizon l’accomplissement des potentialités de la nature humaine.
