ABSTRACT
This chapter comprises four areas of discussion. The first addresses the nature of human flourishing, while the second looks at whether the notion of human flourishing is in tune with the philosophical roots of physical literacy. The third section considers how far physical literacy shares the characteristics of human flourishing, and the fourth considers how far the constituent traits of human flourishing are comparable with those in physical literacy. It will be suggested that on account of the congruence of physical literacy with a range of aspects of human flourishing, fostering physical literacy has the potential to make a positive contribution to human flourishing.
