Well-Being Across Cultures: Meaning and Human Flourishing

What can different traditions tell us about a flourishing human life without erasing their differences? This joint doctoral study examines happiness, self-realisation and meaning through intercultural philosophical comparison and explores their implications for institutions and everyday practice.

Research context and scope

Comparative cultural and philosophical analysis using phenomenology, hermeneutics and conceptual reconstruction. The dissertation considers several intellectual and religious traditions alongside contemporary well-being debates.

Intellectual contribution

The authors propose a comparative vocabulary and typological approach that considers relationships, meaningful activity, cultural context and self-transcendence. Their argument resists reducing human flourishing to a single welfare indicator.

Application and relevance

Relevant to intercultural ethics, philosophy of education, social policy and the qualitative study of well-being.

Scope of interpretation

The source credits both researchers. The catalog category is an editorial subject classification; it does not revise the original programme designation.

Further enquiry

The study offers a starting point for sustained comparative reading, rather than a substitute for methodological verification. Its questions may inform future thematic dialogue across the Academy’s research areas.
