In this class we will explore the related questions of: what makes a life go well; what contributes to flourishing; and, what counts as welfare. We will spend the majority of the semester studying the dominant accounts of the nature and sources of well-being, and then examine efforts to define and measure well-being in economic theory and social psychology.
