Trade Review
This is an excellent and comprehensive collection of classic and contemporary sources on happiness. It covers a number of central questions: How should we define happiness? How can we attain happiness? What role does it play in human existence? and What is the relation between happiness and morality? The collection would work well in a wide range of undergraduate philosophy courses. * Jeffrey Flynn, Middlebury College *
A strength of the volume is the fantastic historical selections the coeditors have chosen. In terms of the history of philosophical and theological thinking about happiness in the West, the editors have picked excellent, provocative, and thoughtful selections. * Sandra L. Shapshay, Indiana University, Bloomington *
A very timely and important contribution for college and university philosophy instructors. * David Elliott, University of Regina *
