- Abstract
- “Individually, we need to strive for a good life, not for a happy life. Collectively, we need to strive for a just society, not for a happy society. Only if we are lucky will this striving make our lives, and hence our societies, happier than they could otherwise have been. But there is no guarantee.” Philippe Van Parijs asks himself “Why not? And does it matter?”
