What is On Being A Good Person: An Ontological Analysis of Human Goodness As The Constitutive Ground of Happiness about?
This paper explores the concept of human goodness, defining it as the realization of three core capacities: sociality, rationality, and agency. It argues that genuine human goodness is the active exercise of these capacities, which is essential for achieving happiness, while also diagnosing pathologies such as anxiety and resentment that obstruct this realization. The analysis concludes that human goodness and happiness are fundamentally interconnected, with the former being constitutive of the latter.
