Value and the Good Life
Value and the Good Life
About this book
"Carson considers a number of established viewpoints concerning the good life. He offers a new critique of Mill and Sidgwick's classic arguments for the hedonistic theory of value, employing thought experiments that invite us to clarify our preferences by choosing between different kinds of lives. He also assesses the desire- or preference-satisfaction theory of value in detail and takes a fresh look at both Nietzsche's Ubermensch ideal and Aristotle's theory of the good life."--BOOK JACKET.
