 The threefold distinction I am using between different theories of well-being has become standard in contemporary ethics (Parfit 1984: app. I). There are problems with it, however, as with many classifications, since it can blind one to other ways of characterizing views (see Kagan 1992; Hurka 2019). Objective list theories are usually understood as theories which list items constituting well-being that consist neither merely in pleasurable experience nor in desire-satisfaction. Such items might include, for example, knowledge or friendship. But it is worth remembering, for example, that hedonism might be seen as one kind of ‘list’ theory, and all list theories might then be opposed to desire theories as a whole.
