From which evaluative foundation should we develop public policies
designed to promote wellbeing among different cultural groups in
different circumstances? This book seeks to advance an objective,
universal theory of cultural evaluation grounded in a eudaemonic
account of human wellbeing. The approach brings together a 'thick
vague' conception of the good; a determinate, particularist
conception of circumstance; an egalitarian moral philosophy with
concessions to sufficientarianism, and a normative functionalist
view of culture, to assess the value of cultural institutions to
those that they affect. Engaging closely with needs and
capabilities paradigms, the approach seeks to identify and explain
cultural deficits in given circumstances. The applicability of the
theory is illustrated through analysis of the effect of
settler-indigenous relations on Aboriginal Australian people. This
book is ideal for students and scholars of cultural theory and
public policy.
