First Principles

Raz’s theory of wellbeing combines the desire satisfaction account with the objective list theory.

On his view, achieving your goals makes your life better. But only when your goals aim at objectively worthwhile pursuits.

On this view, the good life integrates objective value through chosen life projects. To be clear, the projects themselves add nothing to your life unless they integrate an objective value. So counting blades of grass is ruled out as a path to the good life. Also, the values only make your life better when you respond to them appropriately by choosing them and integrating them into projects.
