Summary: The papers compiled in this volume, authored by moral philosophers and philosophers of economics, address several key issues related to the development of a normative standard. They explore what a defensible account of preference formation should look like in order to contribute to well-being, whether preferences must adhere to rationality requirements, what justifies our preferences for certain things over others, and the significance—if any—of preferences that are arational or detrimental to well-being.
