Citations in the corpus
- The Engine of Well-Being (2012, background): “Similarly, Nussbaum (2008) presents the examples of the “happy” warrior going into battle and the misanthropic David Trimble, who shared the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize, as examples of meaning-rich lives that are not necessarily “happy” ones.”
- Positive Psychology and Positive Education: Old Wine in New Bottles? (2012, background): “Many theorists, especially of Aristotelian orientation, are concerned about the absence of this “reflective element” in positive psychology: the absence of a commitment to a ceaseless critical scrutiny of one’s beliefs (see, e.g., Nussbaum, 2008).”
- Tourism and health: using positive psychology principles to maximise participants’ wellbeing outcomes – a design concept for charity challenge tourism (2015, background): “Indeed, Aristotle pointed out the importance of “good activity” in achieving eudemonic happiness, and that pleasure would follow from doing good activities without struggle and with virtue (c.f. Nussbaum, 2008).”
- Positive Psychology, Happiness, and Virtue: The Troublesome Conceptual Issues (2010, background): “This line of criticism has been mounted both by declared Aristotelians and by academics who provisionally adopt an Aristotelian position in order to hoist positive psychology with its own petard (see, e.g., Fowers, 2008; Held, 2005; Martin, 2007; Nussbaum, 2008; Schwartz & Sharpe, 2006; Sugarman, 20”
- Doing the right thing: Measuring wellbeing for public policy (2011, background): “Nussbaum (2007) also presented the case of the misanthropic Northern Irish politician David Trimble (who shared the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize) as an example illustrating the possibility of having a meaning-rich life that is not necessarily filled with positive emotion.”
- Moving Beyond Subjective Well-Being (2014, background): “Nussbaum (2003, 2008), however, points out that overall appreciations of life lead people to aggregate various experiences–good, bad, and ordinary–into a single whole.”
