UID:20260612T143357Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm
TZID:Europe/London
LOCATION:Hull\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>In recent years\, the enhancement of human welfare\, well-being or happiness<br>have become focal concern in public discourse\, among professional bodies and<br>government think tanks\, policy makers and philosophers\, at national\,<br>European and global levels. The question of how to conceptualise\, assess and<br>measure welfare is crucial to ethical debates over social justice. Welfare<br>is also a key concept in many academic disciplines\, including philosophy\,<br>psychology\, economics and highly relevant for the law as well.<br><br>Emergent issues about welfare that need further discussion include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>How is welfare related to wealth\, interests\, capabilities or happiness?</li>\n<li>Welfare as source of moral rights and duties</li>\n<li>Welfare in relation to distributive justice</li>\n<li>Welfare as a fundamental concept in economics</li>\n<li>How can theoretical debates about welfare impact on policy and practice?</li>\n<li>Is there any way of measuring or estimating welfare that is both&nbsp\;theoretically sound and practically useful?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This workshop will be an occasion for in-depth discussion of a&nbsp\;relatively small numbers of papers (about ten) which will be circulated to&nbsp\;participants in advance.<br><br>For any question about&nbsp\;the workshop\, please contact Peter Cserne (p.cserne@hull.ac.uk</a>).</p>
