Value and the Good Life

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of "the good life," the author examines philosophical perspectives on value and morality, critiquing established theories like hedonism and preference-satisfaction. By utilizing thought experiments, he encourages readers to clarify their values and preferences. The book uniquely defends a divine-preference theory of value, suggesting that goodness is defined by the preferences of a benevolent creator or human rationality in the absence of such a deity. This work challenges assumptions in moral realism and aims to deepen understanding of what constitutes a fulfilling life.
