On compromising freedom of choice and subjective

Computers and Society 2025-11-14 v1

Abstract

This paper proposes a new framework for evaluating capability sets by incorporating individual preferences over the diversity of accessible options. Building on the Capability Approach, we introduce a compromise method that balances between the notions of negative and positive freedom, effectively capturing the intrinsic and instrumental values of diverse choices within capability sets.
