REFLECTIONS ON HAPPINESS
Journal Title: Вісник Львівського університету - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue
Abstract
The article is a short overview of philosophical beliefs on happiness over the centuries – from antiquity to the present day. What is common in the discussed concepts is understanding happiness as the highest good. The article also includes the references to the contemporary scholars whose views on happiness are various. The author outlines the value of happiness in the original ethical concept by Grzegorz Grzybek – “the ethics of development” – which confirms the variety of contemporary literature on this issue. Nevertheless, the article does not end at the theoretical reflections since its further part is devoted to the meaning of happiness for the young generation desiring to pursue it, but not at the expense of other person.
