Abstract |
Philosophers of well-being have tended to adopt a foundationalist approach to the
question of theory and measurement, according to which theories are conceptually
prior to measures. By contrast, social scientists have tended to adopt operationalist
commitments, according to which they develop and refine well-being measures
independently of any philosophical foundation. Unfortunately, neither approach
helps us overcome the problem of coordinating between how we characterize wellbeing and how we measure it. Instead, we should adopt a coherentist approach to
well-being science.
