A central aim of education has to do with the promotion of the pupil’s and other people’s well–being. Recent work by John O’Neill locates the strongest justification of the market in an individualistic preference–satisfaction notion of well–being. His own preference for an objective theory of well–being allows us to make a clear separation of educational values from those of the market. Problems in O’Neill’s account suggest a third notion of well–being which better supports the separation mentioned
