The Genealogy of Happiness: From Aristotle to Positive Psychology
ZOOM presentation Wednesday, January 13th, 1-2:30 PM

Please join us for this virtual presentation by William Edelglass, Professor of Buddhist Studies, Philosophy and Environmental Studies at Marlboro College.

What is happiness? Can it be measured? What is the relationship between happiness and virtue, money, pleasure, relationships, mindfulness, and satisfaction?
William Edelglass will present an overview of different conceptions of happiness in Western philosophy, religion, and political theory, and then examine the numerous claims about what makes us happy based on the results of "the new science of happiness."
