Happy Lives, Good Lives offers a thorough introduction to a variety of perspectives on happiness. Among the questions at issue: Is happiness only a state of mind, or is it something more? Is it the same for everyone? Is it under our control, and if so, to what extent? Can we be mistaken about whether we are happy? What role, if any, does happiness play in living a good life? Is it sometimes morally wrong to pursue happiness? Should governments promote happiness through public policy? Asking and answering these questions is worthwhile not only as an intellectual exercise, but also as a means of gaining practical insight into how best to pursue a happy life.
Ethics and the Good Life asks for the point of morality as a way of living. Employing occasional irreverence and good humor, Brad Art engages students in the questions and methods of philosophy. The book asks students to examine their beliefs about morality, religion, and human interaction. In disagreeing with Art's slightly extreme position, students are forced to carefully articulate and defend their positions. Five compelling moral problems are provided for analysis and application of the theory.
Sometimes a love affair, even of the shortest duration, can have a lasting and lingering effect upon one's soul. So it is with Marc-Andre Fillion, whose brief encounter with a neighbour seven years earlier provides the inspiration and story for The Extraordinary Garden. An expanse of parkland between their backyards is the physical separation between Marc-Andre and the woman after whom he longed for seven years, Josee. But the true divide is that both are married, with families. The obligations of being a good spouse, a good parent, a good neighbour keep them apart every bit as much as they drive them together - both have daughters in competitive diving and who attend the same school. The Extraordinary Garden is an eloquent work of fiction mining, the same vein as the works of John Cheever and John Updike.
