Emerging research on the subject of happiness-in psychology,
economics, and public policy-reawakens and breathes new life into
long-standing philosophical questions about happiness (e.g., What
is it? Can it really be measured or pursued? What is its
relationship to morality?). By analyzing this research from a
philosophical perspective, Lorraine L. Besser is able to weave
together the contributions of other disciplines, and the result is
a robust, deeply contoured understanding of happiness made
accessible for nonspecialists. This book is the first to thoroughly
investigate the fundamental theoretical issues at play in all the
major contemporary debates about happiness, and it stands out
especially in its critical analysis of empirical research. The
book's coverage of the material is comprehensive without being
overwhelming. Its structure and pedagogical features will benefit
students or anyone studying happiness for the first time: Each
chapter opens with an initial overview and ends with a summary and
list of suggested readings.
