PUBLICATIONS
Against Happiness
Against Happiness critiques the global happiness agenda, arguing that its narrow, Western-centric view of happiness overlooks richer, diverse cultural understandings of a good life. The book highlights how this agenda can overshadow justice, equality, and conceal social injustices. The authors advocate promoting happiness as a secondary goal to justice, and urging an integration of cross-cultural philosophy and critical social science research.
