Tom Cochrane (Flinders University) Dates: Monday, 21/10/2024 Time: 5:30pm Venue: F09.331. Madsen Building. Madsen Seminar Room 331 How to register: Free, no registration required Abstract: In this talk I introduce the book that I am currently writing on happiness which is called 'Happiness for Mortals'. A central claim of this book is that happiness can be analysed as a broad pattern of successful loves (e.g. love of self, romantic love, love of place, love of community). An attraction of this view is that it synthesises existing approaches that appeal to pleasure, desire-satisfaction, and virtue. Where the successful love view goes further is in organising our various desires around the final good of one's beloveds. In addition, reciprocation allows the worthiness of both the beloved and the lover to be validated. Bio: Tom Cochrane is senior lecturer in philosophy at Flinders University, Adelaide.
