Philosophy is not just an academic discipline that is studied in the university. Philosophy belongs to everyone and we all ask questions from childhood that have an obvious philosophical aspect. These questions and their answers determine everyone's "life path". This collection deals with such philosophical issues that we all face in some way in life, from general questions such as "the meaning of life" and "happiness" to more detailed issues such as lies, forgiveness, fear, death, prejudice, Internet and... the language of these books is not technical and everyone can read them.
What is happiness? Is it possible to achieve clear criteria for measuring people's happiness? How can we deal with the conflict between our goals and the kinds of things that make us feel happy? In this book, Nicholas White, by going over 2500 years of philosophical thinking about the concept of happiness, shows us how prominent thinkers in the history of philosophy from ancient Greece to today have dealt with these and similar questions. And at the same time, he tries to link the question of happiness to issues such as ethical living and the philosophy of life.
