Part 1 - Happiness as an Aim of Life and Education
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 June 2009
Summary
In these opening chapters, I explore various views on happiness, on the relation between suffering and happiness, and on the satisfaction of needs as a major aspect of happiness. I then call for a revival of the discussion on aims (aims-talk) in education and attempt to justify the establishment of happiness as an aim of education. These chapters provide a foundation for the discussion of educating for happiness in personal life (Part 2) and in public life (Part 3).
