Research summary
AI-generated

Eden Lin works in philosophy, focusing on questions about well-being (what makes a life good for the person living it), pleasure, desire, and value. Much of the work examines competing theories of welfare—such as hedonism, desire-satisfaction views, and objective-list theories—and how factors like time, consciousness, and personal relationships bear on a person's welfare. This research is aimed at readers interested in ethics and value theory rather than empirical or scientific study of well-being.
