Well-being in Belgium
What constitutes a good life? For most people, well-being involves more than a high income or material prosperity alone. Many non-material aspects, such as health, family life, living environment, job quality and the meaningful use of time are at least as important. Together, these factors also influence the degree to which people are satisfied with their lives, and help to determine how happy they feel. This book argues that happiness and life satisfaction do not form a good basis for measuring well-being, and proposes an alternative method that not only considers the various aspects of well-being, but also the fact that people have their own views on what is important in life.

The Romances of Chretien de Troyes
Twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes was one of the most influential figures in Western literature, for his romantic poems on the legend of King Arthur gave rise to a tradition of storytelling that continues to this day. This important and fascinating book is a study of all of Chrétien’s work. Joseph J. Duggan begins with an introduction that sets Chrétien within the social and intellectual currents of his time. He then organizes the book in chapters that focus on major issues in Chrétien’s romances rather than on individual works, topics that range from the importance of kinship and genealogy to standards of secular moral responsibility and from Chrétien’s art of narration to his representation of knighthood. Duggan offers new perspectives on many of these themes: in a chapter on the influence of Celtic mythology, for example, he gives special attention to the ways Chrétien integrated portrayals of motivation with mythic themes and characters, and in discussing the Grail romance, he explores the parallels between Perceval’s and Gauvain’s adventures.

Wat is een goed leven? Wel-zijn is voor de meeste mensen meer dan een hoog inkomen of louter materiële welvaart. Vele niet-materiële aspecten zoals gezondheid, gezinsleven, leefomgeving, een zinvolle tijdsbesteding of de kwaliteit van een job zijn minstens even belangrijk voor een geslaagd leven. Al die aspecten samen beïnvloeden ook de mate waarin mensen tevreden zijn over hun leven en bepalen mee hoe gelukkig ze zich voelen. In dit boek argumenteren de auteurs echter dat geluk of levenstevredenheid geen goede maatstaf is voor het meten van welzijn. Zij stellen een alternatieve methode voor die niet enkel rekening houdt met de verschillende dimensies van welzijn, maar ook met het feit da...
