Knowing What is Good For You cover

An examination of the philosophical issues surrounding prudential value: what it 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.

'The basis of the book, its consequences for business and its compatibility with a different style of philosophy makes it a recommendable read, as stating something true.' - International Society for Philosophers Review Forum
