About this listen
Is it your duty to be happy?
Immanuel Kant, the great German philosopher of the late 18th century, argues that it is.
“To secure one’s own happiness is a duty…because discontent with one’s condition, under the pressure of many anxieties and amid unsatisfied wants, might easily become a great temptation to transgress one’s duties.”
What do you think?
Is Kant’s argument convincing?
Are you any happier now that you know it is your duty to be so?
Or, will you defy Kant and continue to be unhappy?
Tell me in the comments or send an email to pneuma.finneran@gmail.com and we’ll discuss on a future episode.
