Knowing what is good for you: a theory of prudential value and well-being

An examination of the philosophical issues surrounding prudential value: whatit is for something to be good for a person; and well-being: what it is for someone's life to go well. It critically analyses competing approaches, and proposes a new subjective account that addresses key weaknesses of existing theories. TIM TAYLOR Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, UK.
