Sinopsis
This book provides important philosophical
insights concerning the kind of creatures we
are such that we can experience something we
understand as well-being,with these insights
then being applied to various areas of social
policy and welfare practice.Theauthor defends
what he calls The Ontology of Well-Being Thesis
(TOWT), addressingontological questions aboutthe
human condition, and how these questions are
fundamental to issues concerning what we might
know about human well-being and how we should
promote it. Yet, surprisingly, these ontological
questions are often side-lined inacademic,politica
l, andpolicy and practice baseddebates about
well-being.Addressing these questions, head-on,
six features of the human condition are
identified via TOWT human embodiment,
finiteness, sociability, cognition, evaluation,
and agency.The main argument of the thesis
isthat these features reveal the conflicting
character of human experiences, which can, in
turn, have a profound bearing on our experience
of well-being. Notably, it is our conflicting
experiences of time, emotion, and
self-consciousness, which can potentially help us
experience well-being in complex and
multi-dimensional ways. The author then applies
these insights to various social policies and
welfare practices, concerning, for example,
pensions, disability, bereavement counselling,
social prescribing within health settings, the
promotion of mental health, and co-production
practices.This book is of importance to
philosophers, social policy
3
analysts, and welfare practitioners and is also
relevant to the fields of psychology,
sociology, politics, and the health sciences.
