'All philosophy is a metaphysics of happiness...or it's not worth
an hour of trouble' claims Alain Badiou in this lively intervention
into one of the most persistent themes in philosophy: what is
happiness? And what do I need to do to be happy? The desire to be
happy is one of our most universal goals and yet there doesn't seem
to be any easy answers or formulas for achieving happiness. And the
concept has become so commodified and corrupted to be almost
unrecognizable as something worth pursuing. In light of this,
should we just give up the aspiration to be happy altogether? Alain
Badiou thinks not. While eschewing futile procedures for magically
becoming 'happy', Badiou does passionately maintain that in order
to be truly happy we need philosophy. And, bolder still, that a
life lived philosophically is the happiest life of all!
