Description
In today’s world, the quest for happiness is seen as the ultimate goal of life: We work, shop, and relate to each other in order to be happy. Yet, too often we fall short of achieving our goal to be happy. What are we doing wrong? What is the path, if any, to happiness? Can happiness be achieved in this lifetime? This class proposes to explore the path to happiness by way of a journey through space and time in order to discover what philosophers across the ages have thought of happiness and how to achieve it. Our journey will pass through the encounter with both ancient and contemporary thinkers, in both the Eastern and the Western traditions.
