The book delves into a more specific assertion, namely that ethical life necessitates political engagement, and the emergence of a society that values critical thinking. It is argued that these conditions enable individuals to be recognized and confirmed as ethical subjects. While well-being can be experienced in various ways, the book contends that after engaging in an ethical life, a more sustainable and fulfilling form of well-being is revealed to us. This form holds the potential to be cherished and can be conceptualized as an object of hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the book draws upon philosophical concepts, its primary focus lies in the political realm. This is because its central objective is to identify and analyze the necessary steps to achieve ethical life. Its primary emphasis in this regard is on identifying and examining the obstacles that hinder the realization of ethical life. It is acknowledged that realizing ethical life is a challenging task, perhaps even an impossible one. Nevertheless, the book remains a beacon of hope rather than succumbing to despair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will appeal to students studying politics, psychology, cultural studies, philosophy, and sociology, as well as anyone else interested in exploring innovative ideas about creating a better world. The Politics of Well-Being offers a thought-provoking exploration of the interconnectedness between well-being, ethical life, and political engagement, providing valuable insights and perspectives for a more harmonious and ethical society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367617325\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthony M.
