Harry Brighouse Leads To A Flourishing Life

I agree that the definition of a flourishing life is subjective. While Harry Brighouse has defined what he believes to be a flourishing life, I think he is sympathetic to the idea that this concept is in fact subjective. In the reading he demonstrations this by stating “I am not, in fact, arguing that children should be forced to live their lives in some particular way” (52). Within his central argument, purposing education’s main purpose is to promote human flourishing, I think Brighouse suggest a general idea of a foundation that leads to a flourishing life. Upon becoming an adult, and knowing what is best for oneself, the individual would then be able to make decisions as to what they believe will result in a flourishing life.
