Action, Ability and Health Essays in the Philosphy of Action and Welfare

This book is a contribution to the general philosophy of action and the philosophy of welfare. The author makes separate analyses of concepts such as action, ability, interaction, action-explanation, happiness, health, illness and disability. At the same time he explores and substantiates the idea of a strong interdependence between the concept of action and some of the central concepts of welfare, in particular health and illness and related concepts. As a result he shows how the conceptual network of human welfare could be constructed.Nordenfelt, Lennart is the author of 'Action, Ability and Health Essays in the Philosphy of Action and Welfare' with ISBN 9780792362067 and ISBN 0792362063.
