Value and the Good Life

Více o knize

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.
