Sommario/riassunto |
|
Standard preferentialist theories allege that a person's preferences and their satisfaction are the correct measure of well-being. In this book, Egonsson presents a critical analysis of the ""full-information account of the good,"" which claims that only the satisfaction of rational and fully informed preferences has value for a person. |
