Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This fascinating analysis of the potential for promoting general happiness across the world examines whether this achievable goal might rest on some fundamental delusion. The author explores the nuances of three happiness-related arguments that have been proposed. Firstly, that happiness relies on the perception of one's own good fortune compared to that of others. The second argument suggests that happiness is relative to past experiences or the suffering of others. Finally, the author examines the claim that happiness can be found through becoming accustomed to pleasure and pain. The author concludes that although knowledge and inventions can assist with facilitating increased happiness, it is a much more elusive concept to grasp on a societal scale for any extended period.
