Abstract


Transforming individual lifestyles is necessary to address the eco-social crisis-and it is imperative that policies committed to its resolution promote the individual capability for eco-social action. However, it appears that a certain motivational gap hinders individual lifestyle change. To address this gap, we explore a blend of the capabilities approach and Hartmut Rosa’s theories. We argue that natural resonance serves as a necessary, though not sufficient, personal conversion factor for the capability of eco-social action-and that a policy of promoting natural resonance would also meet the demands placed on human development by both the capabilities approach and sustainability.
