Theories that deny this are forms of\u00a0<i>holism<\/i>\u00a0about lifetime well-being. Recent discussions of holism, inspired by David Velleman, have focused mainly on one particular species of it, the so-called\u00a0\u201cshape of a life\u201d hypothesis. This is the claim that having an \u201cuphill\u201d distribution of momentary well-being contributes to lifetime well-being and does so over and above the instrumental effects that such a distribution might have upon momentary well-being.\u00a0In this paper I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the shape of a life hypothesis before introducing an alternative view, one which avoids those weaknesses, and argue for its independent plausibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location: Edgecliffe G03 Title:\u00a0All\u2019s Well that Ends Well?
