It interprets Sen’s commitment aspect of the self in collective intentionality terms, uses this to explain his view of ‘identification with’ social groups, and then uses social identity theory’s distinction between relational and categorical social group identities to explain a general relationship between individual and collective capabilities. The paper applies this analysis to three broad domains of social embeddedness – market activity, public deliberation, and community participation – in order to explain the process aspect of capability development in terms of how each domain balances individual and collective capabilities. https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/CIECE/article/view/1844 FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS ECONÓMICAS - UNIVERSIDAD DE BUENOS AIRES Philosophy of Economics; Vol. 4 (2015): Filosofía de la Economía, Vol 4 (2015); 19 Filosofía de la Economía; Vol. 4 (2015): Filosofía de la Economía, Vol 4 (2015); 19 2314-3606 2314-3592 Agency and the process aspect of capability development: Individual capabilities, collective capabilities, and collective intentions info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=filoeco&d=1844_oai
