| Abstract: | Author deliberates how the well-being of a person can be determined when her preferences are not stable across worlds. The problem is to find a stable standard of well-being when the standard is set by preferences that are not stable. In the study it is shown that inconsistency threatens if it is accepted that your desires determine what is good for you and and that you must prefer what is better for you. |
