To Be or Not To Be Happy

“One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or a brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy,” wrote Aristotle in The Nicomachean Ethics. This rather commonsensical view of happiness is part of a larger, and deeper analysis of the meaning of happiness. This week, we explore one of the great minds of classical European philosophy.
