More on Happiness

[pegkerr]

I have been mulling over this essay, which is interesting, particularly in light of my recent entry on happiness. Some meaty ideas to chew over here. Is happiness dependent upon virtue? (So why am I feeling happier now, if I'm not really back to work on the book yet?) Am finding the author's contrast of the Greco-Roman conception of happiness (springing from Aristotle) with the Christian perception quite intriguing.

And why has Boethius been cropping up in practically everything I've been reading lately? I probably need to get around to reading De Consolatione Philosophiae. Sometime. Maybe if I need a little light reading after finishing The Simarillion again.

(Yeah, I'm kidding, sorta.)
