The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Well-Being (Routledge Handbooks in Philosophy) by Guy Fletcher (Editor)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.3 MB
Overview: The concept of well-being is one of the oldest and most important topics in philosophy and ethics, going back to ancient Greek philosophy. Following the boom in happiness studies in the last few years it has moved to centre stage, grabbing media headlines and the attention of scientists, psychologists and economists. Yet little is actually known about well-being and it is an idea that is often poorly articulated.
Genre: Non-Fiction | Philosophy > Ethics
