Flourishing Has an Emotional Dimension

Preview ResponseFlourishing I1 min read

I think the Flourishing preview is superb. I am surprised that, when I wrote Justice: Rights and Wrongs, I did not see that, in addition to the agential and circumstantial dimensions of flourishing, which I took note of, there is the emotional dimension. It now seems to me blindingly obvious.

Incidentally, these three dimensions get expressed, in highly colloquial English, in three questions:

How’re ya doin’?

How’s it goin’?

How ya feelin’?
