The Pursuit of Happiness

Charles Fisher

Post University

Humankind has debated the meaning of happiness for many years yet still a solitary, logical definition escapes mankind. humankind. The attempt to understand happiness and its accurate definition draws on the teachings of major ethical and religious systems. An attempt to define and comprehend happiness has attracted several debates, questions, arguments, and suggestions alike from well- known thinkers including Aristotle, St. Augustine, and Marcus Aurelius. In the contemporary society, different thinkers including poets, philosophers, writers, and scientists have used different assumptions, types of evidence, and logic to explore the topic of evidence. Comment by Rebecca Coleman: Repeat title on first page of text.

Some philosophers suggest the question, ‘What is happiness?’ has inconsistent characteristics (Behrens & Rosen, 2013). Philosopher, Lynne McFall, presents a good-humoured yet serious run of queries on happiness in her work, “Pig Happiness,” which was a teaser to get a person’s mind primed for engagement. Pig-happiness takes diverse forms. If an individual is satisfied with the way he/ or she is progressing due to decisions made, such a person is pig happy. However, pig-happiness had raised queries about its credibility as questioning whether it is fit for human happiness. Another philosopher, Mark Kingwell, also alleges that the question ‘What is happiness?’ fails to leads to definitive answers. The query remains a paramount one in his work, “The Pursuit of Happiness.”

Critics also challenge the methods and logic of positive psychology. Philosopher Simon Critchley makes an effort to measure happiness scientifically in his study, “Happy like God.” Jane Kenyon, a former poet from New Hampshire, compares happiness to an unknown relative (uncle) who unexpectedly appears in an individual’s life. Geographer, Yi Fu Tuan, illustrates a variety of joyous experiences with rich anecdotes. Robert Pirsig drafts writes about motorbike servicing in unanticipated approaches that lead to reflective gratification and excel engine parts in his literature work Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Behrens & Rosen, 2013). Comment by Rebecca Coleman: Do you mean excellent here?

Consequently, studies in positive psychology also end up used in investigating the happiness. Martin Seligman suggests a new discipline in happiness and advocates his suggestion in his literature material concerning a full life along with a balanced psychology study. Jennifer Senior, a columnist with New York newspaper, reviewed some of the most significant findings on positive psychology while at the same time divulging diverse contradictions. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes the discipline as being in the zone or rather the flow while engaged in an activity. Elizabeth Dunn, Tim Wilson, and Daniel Gilbert alleged that money ought to make an individual happy (Behrens & Rosen, 2013). If a person with money is not happy, that implies that they are not spending it right. Though the supposed subject matter of their literature is spending capital, the paper serves as an interesting, amusing overview of key findings in positive psychology.

There exist predicaments in organization of the confusion in our talk about happiness and the very explanations of our conflicting institutions are bound to conflict. The desire to understand and explain joy or happiness builds the foundation of numerous judgements about work, play, life, and love. The pursuance pursuit of satisfaction or happiness is, in fact, the quest for joy. It is a person’s God’s granted right to perpetrate a deed that enables them to seek contentment, as long as that quest does not affect the happiness of others (Behrens & Rosen, 2013). Comment by Rebecca Coleman: This is a bit wordy and confusing. Comment by Rebecca Coleman: ? Comment by Rebecca Coleman: Wordy

The thinkers, Kenyon, McFall, Tuan, Critchley, and Pirsig are provocative and approachable, far differently to what Dunn et al.., Seligman, and Csikzentmihalyi. They contribute distinct terms and current approaches through which individuals can reflect on their own happiness in the past, present, and future. For that reason, they provide the most credible approach to study and analyse happiness. Comment by Rebecca Coleman: This sentence is missing words or ideas.

You have a good start here. Organization is needed, however, for the final version. Note that your thesis statement seems to be: In contemporary society, different thinkers including poets, philosophers, writers, and scientists have used different assumptions, types of evidence, and logic to explore the topic of evidence. Based on that, I would assume that your first paragraph will address assumptions, the second would address types of evidence, and the third would address logic. You don’t have your information in that order, however. Organizing your ideas to reflect the thesis will help ensure that your reader is able to follow your discussion.
