Moral e Felicidade: Possibilidades para uma Sociedade Equifeliz

Catarina Rivero, Maria Alexandra d’Araújo, Helena Marujo

Resumo


Numa sociedade com uma complexidade crescente, fruto de desenvolvimento, globalização e de crises sociais e económicas, os temas da moral e felicidade são cada vez mais considerados. No âmbito civil ou académico, procuram-se respostas para a co-construção de caminhos alternativos e positivos para a vida em sociedade. No presente artigo exploramos os contributos das áreas da Psicologia Positiva, Economia da Felicidade e Psicologia Moral, tendo em vista propostas teóricas, numa lógica de transdisciplinaridade para futuros criativos e refletidos, para a promoção do que aqui consideramos como uma Sociedade Equifeliz – onde há a facilitação de condições para o desenvolvimento de expectativas e oportunidades, bem-estar individual e publico, hedónico e eudaimónico, democracia e equidade social.
