| Abstract: | Comments on B. Schwartz's (see record 2000-13324-008) discussion of excessive personal freedom, autonomy, self-determination, and life satisfaction and meaning. Schwartz argued that positive psychology must be informed by a normative vision of the components of a good human life, with psychologists taking on the role of society's tutors in achieving that vision. D. Resnick states that Schwartz has overstepped his bounds, appropriating determination of the good life from the fields of philosophy and religion, thereby falling prey to the naturalistic fallacy.
