Description
The essays in this volume examine the nature of human flourishing and its relationship to a variety of other key concepts in moral theory.
Some of them trace the link between flourishing and human nature, asking whether a theory of human nature can allow us to develop an objective list of goods that are of value to all agents, regardless of their individual purposes or aims.
Some essays look at the role of friendships or parent-child relationships in a good life, or seek to determine whether an ethical theory based on human flourishing can accommodate concern for others for their own sake.
Other essays analyze the function of families or other social-political institutions in promoting the flourishing of individuals.
Still others explore the implications of flourishing for political theory, asking whether considerations of human flourishing can help us to derive principles of social justice.
