英文摘要 | Human well-being is a complex concept that has been contested across the socialand political sciences. This chapter considers three broad approaches to theconcept and measurement of human well-being along with their respectivemerits from a cross-disciplinary perspective. The three broad approaches inquestion embrace utility (happiness, desire fulfillment, and preference), materialwell-being (most notably, income and resources), and “list-orientated” views(needs, rights, and capabilities). The final part of the chapter explicitly linkshuman well-being with environmental issues and various notions of sustainabledevelopment. It is suggested that the idea of “sustainable human development”can help resolve the apparent tension between poverty reduction (involvingmore consumption) on the one hand and environmental conservation and sustainabilityon the other. Above all, a more comprehensive account of humanwell-being is required to bridge the gap between mental and physical states andto take note of the environmental and material basis of sustainable well-being. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014. |
