Well-Being Philosophy and the Big Issues

Abstract

There are not many open access resources on the philosophy of well-being, or peer-reviewed publications that focus on one aspect of the philosophy of well-being and are treated together with related disciplines, and individual experiences of the philosophy of well-being are scarce, or people are not always good at it. Responding to the big question of well-being philosophy requires confronting a typical philosophical question: what is the good life of a human being, or what is good for her, what is best. How success in my life or your life is achieved is intrinsically or ultimately beneficial to someone, rather than merely a useful tool or strategy. The goals of these questions have many names: happiness, welfare, prudent values, quality of life, what makes someone's life the best, what is good for people, personal gain, human prosperity, or the good life. Use welfare to mean something important, no matter what it is, namely someone's life is going well. The philosophy of well-being can be regarded as a building block in the field of philosophy, and its greatest appeal is that it concerns people's happiness, welfare, spiritual pleasure, or the fulfillment of wishes. Debates about well-being have continued throughout the ages, and to this day, philosophers and wise men with their own views continue to argue for different philosophies of well-being. As a universal value, the philosophy of well-being exists widely in all countries and regions of the world. It is a way for human beings to explore their inner world and the purpose of existence. It is also a way to answer the ultimate questions in the field of human spirit and emotion. When contemporary philosophers write about happiness, they usually focus on finding the best substantive theory of happiness. The substantive theory of happiness aims to tell us what ultimately makes things good or bad for a person and, more broadly, what makes life good or bad. Hedonists tell us that it all boils down to pleasure and pain. Desire fulfillment theorists say that it is the fulfillment of our actual or idealized desires. Objective list theorists claim that it is the plurality of things, some of which do not have to resonate with the person receiving them. Perfectionists believe that it is a matter of developing and exercising one's natural abilities. Of course, a range of other theories have been proposed and discussed. (Campbell, 2015) Measuring the philosophy of well-being seems to attract approaches from disciplines as diverse as psychology, economics, classical philosophy, psychoanalysis, sociology, management, linguistics, statistics, pathology, political science, ethics, and religion. As you can imagine, it has never gone out of fashion, nor has it ever lost interest. Happiness originally begins with people's most primitive and simple understanding of themselves and the outside world, from which we can more or less see traces of discussions on the ontology of the world. In particular, such cognition and practical life reach a tacit understanding at a certain point in time, that is, such cognition has been proved and fulfilled in real life, and has been perfected and developed for thousands of years to form an independent theoretical system. The philosophy of well-being is the knowledge to solve a series of important and fundamental problems in the field of philosophy. As you can imagine, the philosophy of well-being is beautiful and selfless, and its beauty and selflessness are not displayed on the outside, but appeal to the inside. It silently helps man to give his life for the good; It is very elegant, and in different ways, in different dimensions, it urges people to find the "sun" in their hearts. The possible future threat to the philosophy of well-being itself comes from limiting itself to talking about or describing the experience of happiness without giving a critical account of the ultimate experience. The key to advocating a philosophy of well-being that solves big problems is to show that it is reasonable and possible to have an ultimate philosophy, despite the risk of rejection in the future.
