Abstract This chapter takes up the question, ‘Why does it matter which way we negotiate BED framework (therein pathologizing distressing emotions or otherwise)?’ Here, I consider two very different conceptions of flourishing: on one conception (which call ‘health-based flourishing’ (HF)), doesn’t make much a difference either way. However, an altogether flourishing (termed ‘excellence-based (EF)), argue that makes all framework. What EF helps us to recover is distinctly agential dimension in human experience emotions—a obscured by pathologization emotions, and HF more broadly.
