Jussi Suikkanen on Kant on Well-Being!

Hello y'all,

Jussi Suikkanen posted an excellent bit about Kant and well-being on PEA Soup. He suggests that Kant might subcribe to hedonistic and desire satisfaction accounts of well-being which are usually taken to be incompatible. Check it out!

I'm Back (Again)...

Hello y'all,

I've been working hard on my dissertation lately (as a matter of fact, I have two chapters in working condition, and right now, I'm working on the third). Expect to see more activity on this page in the near future. Until then...

Excelsior!

"I Don't Mind Being the Smartest Man in the World..."

Hello Fellow Hedonists,

Sorry I haven't been updating the blog more often, I've been busy working on my dissertation. I hope the post before this will make up for my absence.

I'll be attending a conference on Ethical and Social Scientific Perspective on Well-being being put on by the CSULB Center for Applied Ethics this weekend. It should be fun!

Excelsior!

P.S. WATCHMEN is also coming out this weekend! The bloody smiley face in the upper left hand of this page is a mirror image of the bloody smile face found in the graphic novel. The graphic novel resonated with me, philosophically. I don't want to ruin the ending (which has been changed, from what I understand), but Ozymandias is my hero.

P.S.S. Check out this post on PEA Soup on the inverted experience machine.

BLOG, DAMNIT, BLOG!

Hello y'all,

I'll start updating the blog again in a bit...I've been busy teaching/writing. 

When I get back to updating, I intend to start putting up some unique content, and, if I can, get some input from philosophers and psychologists working on well-being.

See you again in a week...

                                                Excelsior!
