Well-Being Contextualism and Capabilities J. Happiness Stud. (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2024-01-23 Sebastian Östlund
Typically, philosophers analysing well-being’s nature maintain three claims. First, that well-being has essential properties. Second, that the concept of well-being circumscribes those properties. Third, that well-being theories should capture them exhaustively and exclusively. This predominant position is called well-being monism. In opposition, contextualists argue that no overarching concept of
