According to an ancient and still popular view
—
sometimes known as
'eudaimonism'
—
a person's well-being, or quality of life, is ultimately
determined by his or her level of happiness. According to this view, the
happier a person is, the better off he or she is. The doctrine is controversial
in part because the nature of happiness is controversial. In What Is This Thing
Called Happiness? Fred Feldman presents a study of the nature and value of
happiness. Part One contains critical discussions of the main philosophical
and psychological theories of happiness. Feldman presents arguments
designed to show that each of these theories is problematic. Part Two
contains his presentation and defense of his own theory of happiness, which
is a form of attitudinal hedonism. On this view, a person's level of happiness
may be identified with the extent to which he or she takes pleasure in things.
Feldman shows that if we understand happiness as he proposes, it becomes
reasonable to suppose that a person's well-being is determined by his or
her level of happiness. This view has important implications not only for
moral philosophy, but also for the emerging field of hedonic
psycholog}'.
Part Three contains discussions of some interactions between the proposed
theory of happiness and empirical research into happiness. |
