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,political, andpolicy and practice baseddebates about well-being.
