MODULE 1: Wellbeing, ages, and stages


Module 1: Wellbeing, ages, and stages 
  1. What is wellbeing? How should we measure how well a person's life is going?
  2. Is there one yardstick throughout life .... (universalism)
  3. Or one yardstick for childhood, a different one for midlife, a different one for old age? (normative stageism)

For Wednesday

Shelly Kagan, excerpt from Death
  • What is wellbeing?
  • How do you construct a theory of wellbeing?
  • What is the most popular theory?
  • Is it right?
