Well-being: A reflective equilibrium."This book makes a vital contribution to the current literature on human well-being. Through a condensed but incisive analysis of a wide range of sources, from ancient philosophy to the political constitutions of modern nation states, Annie Austin builds a strong case for a universal core of human well-being. Her identification of the vital importance of an "infrastructure of sociality" should be noted by academicians, politicians and policy-makers who are seeking to use well-being as a means of rethinking how we are to meet the challenges of the 21st century." —Allister McGregor, University of Sheffield, UK This book examines the differing policy implications of the different conceptions of wellbeing across the world. There is an ongoing debate, in both philosophical and policy circles, about the legitimacy of universal frameworks of wellbeing. Who should decide what it means to live a good life? Is it possible to arrive at a shared definition, or is there simply too much individual and cultural diversity in conceptions of the good life? By devising an ‘overlapping consensus’ on wellbeing, the book represents a starting point for political negotiation and public deliberation about the kinds of societies we (as collectivities) wish to create, and the kinds of lives we (as individuals embedded in those societies) want to live. The book provides philosophically-informed public policy insight, making it a valuable contribution to interdisciplinary wellbeing scholarship. Annie Austin is Research Fellow at the Centre for Social Ethics and Policy at the University of Manchester, UK.Wellbeing in Politics and PolicyPublic policyPolitical theoryInternational organizationComparative politicsSociologyQuality of lifePublic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010International Organizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912010Comparative Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040Sociological Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22060Quality of Life Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000Public policy.Political theory.International organization.Comparative politics.Sociology.Quality of life.Public Policy.Political Theory.International Organization.Comparative Politics.Sociological Theory.Quality of Life Research.306Austin Annieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061178MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910369917703321A Universal Declaration of Human Well-being2517793UNINA
