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 more 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Philosophy Of Well - Being An Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Fletcher Guy\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781138818354\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 178 Pages, 6 Tables, Black And White\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/1\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Ethics \u0026amp; Moral Philosophy","brand":"Fletcher Guy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49614034862385,"sku":"IN-G-9781138818354","price":61.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781138818354.jpg?v=1724614143","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781138818354-the-philosophy-of-well-being-an-introduction","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
