Existential Flourishing - Irene McMullin

. .

Résumé :
This innovative volume argues that 'flourishing' (eudaimonia) is achieved by individuals successfully balancing their responsiveness to three different normative claims: self-fulfilment, moral responsibility, and answerability to intersubjective standards. It will interest those working in morality, existential phenomenology, and virtue ethics.
