Well-Being

"Well-being," "welfare," "utility," and "quality of life" all closely related concepts, are at the center of morality, politics, law, and economics. Griffin's book, while primarily a volume of moral philosophy, is relevant to all of these subjects. Griffin offers answers to three central questions about well-being: the best way to understand it, whether or not it can be measured, and where it should fit in moral and political thought.
