Produktbeschreibung
The author offers answers to three central questions about well-being: the best way to understand it; whether it can be measured; and where it should fit in moral and political thought. This is a paperback reissue of the title published in hardback in 1986.
This book is about several closely related ideas--'well-being', 'welfare', 'utility', 'the quality of life'. These are ideas at the centre of morality, politics, law, and economics. The book is primarily a work of moral philosophy but is relevant to all of these subjects. The author offers answers to three questions. What is the best way to understand well-being? To what extent can it be measured? And where should it fit in our moral and political thought?
Autorenporträt
James lives in Vienna, Austria, with his wife and two children. He's been a writer most of his adult life: as a journalist, as an editor and, for the past 12 years, as a speech writer for an international organisation. This is his first foray into children's books, but hopefully not his last.
