Happiness
Happiness
Once the philosophers’ domain, research on happiness is now burgeoning across disciplines. This interdisciplinary push re-awakens longstanding philosophical questions (What is happiness? What is the connection between happiness and virtue?) and breathes new life into our philosophical analyses of happiness. In this seminar we will explore new research on happiness. We begin with tough philosophical questions about the nature of happiness and how best to characterize happiness. We will then explore leading theories and interdisciplinary research on what makes us happy and the implications these theories have for the study of happiness. 3 hrs. sem.
