The Ethics of Happiness

An Existential Analysis

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This book is on the philosophy and psychology of happiness. The author traces the shifting meanings of the term from the Greeks, who understood happiness as flourishing to the twenty-first century, which views it as subjective satisfaction. The book proceeds historically from Aristotle to Viktor Frankl. The author argues that we should not aim for happiness; rather, happiness should be let happen; it is a by-product of meaning and Dr. Costello anchors his thesis in Frankl s tri-dimensional ontology, delineating the differences between pleasure, happiness and joy.
