It is now standard among philosophers to distinguish between two kinds of well-being:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· \u003ci\u003elifetime\u003c\/i\u003e well-being, i.e., how good a person’s life was for him or her considered as a whole, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· \u003ci\u003etemporal\u003c\/i\u003e well-being, i.e., how well off someone was, or how they fared, at a particular moment in time (\u003ci\u003emomentary\u003c\/i\u003e well-being) or over a period of time longer than a moment but shorter than a whole life, say, a day, month, year, or chapter of a life (\u003ci\u003eperiodic\u003c\/i\u003e well-being).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany theories have been offered of each of these kinds of well-being. A common view is that lifetime well-being is in some way constructed out of temporal well-being. This book argues that much of this literature is premised on a mistake. Lifetime well-being cannot be constructed out of temporal well-being, because there is no such thing as temporal well-being. The only genuine kind of well-being is lifetime well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Passing of Temporal Well-Being \u003c\/i\u003ewill prove essential reading for professional philosophers, especially in moral and political philosophy.
