Opis

It is now standard in philosophy to distinguish between lifetime well-being, how good a person’s life was for him or her considered as a whole, and temporal well-being, how well off a person was, or how they fared, at a particular moment in time, or over some period of time longer than a moment but shorter than a whole life, say, a day, month, year, or chapter of a life. A major topic is how these two kinds of well-being relate to each other and this book dares to argue that there is no such thing as temporal well-being.
