This three-year project, funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation, explores new understandings of education, purpose and human flourishing through an annual public seminar series, residential visiting fellowships, conferences and publications. The pathways to human flourishing are staggered and, though data demonstrates we are living longer and healthier lives, our futures are increasingly uncertain. The project probes the concept of human flourishing and the focus to date on very narrow outcomes such as income, health or measure of positive affect. It engages with scholars who have suggested that human well-being or flourishing consists in a much broader range of states and outcomes that also encompass happiness and life satisfaction, meaning and purpose, character and virtue, and close social relationships. It examines the purposes of education in the face of current uncertainties and explores how education could support pathways to human flourishing in different contexts, proposing that education in a constantly changing world is dynamic, its purposes varied, and it’s form multifarious.
