あらすじ・解説
Chris and Christian discuss happiness. First, what is happiness? The philosophical literature contains three main accounts: happiness as a life filled with pleasure, happiness as a kind of positive mood, and happiness as the judgment that your life as a whole is going well. Second, what distinguishes happiness from some seemingly related concepts, such as wellbeing (see: Episode 2) and the meaning of life (see: Episode 3)? Third, what is the value of happiness? Why should we pursue it? Can happiness ever be bad?
