ON QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Abstract

The theme of the 'quality of life' has become a focal point in recent public discussions of social policy issues. In this case, as so often, clarification of the concept is a virtually essential preliminary to any meaningful application of it. An effort is made to elucidate those specific factors whose presence or absence (presumably to a varying extent) could appropriately be regarded as coming upon the stage of discussion when questions of a higher or lesser quality of life are mooted.
