The Exploding Philosopher: Philosophy Colloquium

There will be a Philosophy Colloquium on
Tuesday, April 22nd at 4:00 pm in Humanities 403.

"Happiness and Duty"

Presented by Jing Wang
UMD Philosophy major

People often use the word "happiness" in everyday life, but the term
"happiness" is ambiguous. Happiness can describe the overall structure
of a life, a state of feeling, or satisfaction of desires. The problem I
propose to study is whether one's life could be happy while still living
up to all one's duties and what this means for the nature of happiness
and duty.

I will contrast the ancient views of happiness with modern views.
