The Philosophy of Well-Being: An Introduction By Guy Fletcher

The Philosophy of Well-Being: An Introduction By Guy Fletcher Paperback 1138818356 9781138818354 The Philosophy of Well Being: An Introduction Well being occupies a central role in ethics and political philosophy, including in major theories such as utilitarianism. It also extends far beyond philosophy: recent studies into the science and psychology of well being have propelled the topic to centre stage, and governments spend millions on promoting it. We are encouraged to adopt modes of thinking and behaviour that support individual well being or wellness. What is well being? Which theories of well being are most plausible? In this rigorous and comprehensive introduction to the topic, Guy Fletcher unpacks and assesses these questions and many , including: Are pleasure and pain the only things that affect well being? Is desire fulfilment the only thing that makes our lives go well? Can something be good for someone who does not desire it? Is well being fundamentally connected to a distinctive human nature? Is happiness all that makes our lives go well? Is death necessarily bad for us? How is the well being of a whole life related to well being at particular times? Annotated further reading and study and comprehension questions follow each chapter, and a glossary of key terms is also included, making The Philosophy of Well Being essential reading for students of ethics and political philosophy. This title is also suitable for those in related disciplines such as psychology, politics and sociology.
