*Well-being and affective states* A two-day international workshop Université Clermont Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand 14-15 November 2019
*Call for papers :* Although the philosophy of emotions and the philosophy of well-being have both undergone major developments in recent decades, they have rarely been addressed together. This is surprising, since affective states are closely linked with well-being and happiness. For example, having positive emotions or being in a good mood may be necessary for well-being. But what are the exact relations between these states ? In order to answer this question, this workshop aims to examine the following issues : - What is the nature of affective states such as emotions, moods and desires, and do they constitute a specific type of epistemic access to our well-being ? - Are affective states discrete causes or constituents of well-being ? - How do we distinguish between happiness and well-being ? Is it possible to draw the distinction by appealing to affective states only or do we have to appeal to other psychological states as well ? - Can we measure well-being by focusing on affective states ? Are there better measures, independent of affective states ? *Confirmed Speakers :* - Daniel Haybron - Antti Kauppinen - Christine Tappolet & Mauro Rossi *Organising committee :* Julien Deonna (University of Geneva), Stéphane Lemaire (University of Rennes), Samuel Lepine (UCA), & Fabrice Teroni (University of Geneva) *Call for papers* We invite submissions for presentations (35 min talk + 15 min Q&A) from PhD students or Post-docs for this two-day international workshop in Clermont-Ferrand.
