Wellbeing 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 wellbeing 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 wellbeing or 'wellness'.What is wellbeing? Which theories of wellbeing 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 wellbeing? Is desirefulfilment the only thing that makes our lives go well? Can something be good for someone who does not desire it? Is wellbeing 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 wellbeing of a whole life related to wellbeing 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 WellBeing 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.
