Yet little is actually known about well-being and it is an idea that is often poorly articulated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Well-Being provides a comprehensive, outstanding guide and reference source to the key topics and debates in this exciting subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComprising over 40 chapters by a team of international contributors, the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into six parts:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewell-being in the history of philosophy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecurrent theories of well-being, including hedonism and perfectionism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexamples of well-being and its opposites, including friendship and virtue and pain and death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etheoretical \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Without rival or even comparison in the literature, this is the definitive collection of contemporary philosophical perspectives on well-being.
