The Nature and Value of Happiness provides a historic and
contemporary overview of the philosophy of happiness, with critical
evaluations to help students analyze the material and trace the
evolution of a deeply nuanced concept. Addressing how the modern
notion of happiness has changed from its ancient origins, Christine
Vitrano attempts to clarify the precise value of happiness. This
search leads Vitrano to examine topics such as the moral
requirements of happiness and whether happiness can be considered
the greatest good or simply one good among many. The philosophical
theories are presented in a way that is accessible to anyone
interested in learning about happiness, regardless of previous
philosophical study. All technical terms and concepts are clearly
explained, and illustrative examples tied into the text bring the
material to life and help establish the relevance of the subject to
readers. The ultimate goal is to reach a definition of the nature
of happiness that best reflects the way we use the word today. This
book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on happiness
and is ideal for initiating provocative discussions in courses on
happiness and ethics.
