PL 403 - Philosophy of Happiness

(3.00 cr.)

What is happiness? How can we discover or create it within our lives? What are the factors-personal, social, and existential-that seem to assist or impede the quest for fulfillment? Classical and contemporary philosophical answers to such questions are explored, with some attention given to the findings of psychological research.

Prerequisite: PL 201 and one additional PL 200-level course.
