Can philosophy bring happiness?
Can philosophy bring happiness?
Only you can bring happiness.
Through philosophy?
drugs and alcohol can bring a lot of happiness.....for a while at least, until they stop working then you'll be in a living hell but...still worth it probably.
No, much the opposite
Through peace of self and the understanding of suffering and it's causes.
Yes, directly or indirectly. Philosophy kinda dictates every decision you make, so in a way it's the ultimate tool to find happines. I'd love to know what philosophy Anthony Weiner subscribes to. He's so smarmy and glib despite being trainwrecked by the media and an impending divorce. Nothing could touch that man.
No, that's not the point. Fuck off if you think the goal of philosophy is to tell you how to live your life.
Why?
Yes because happiness has literally never been touched on by a philosopher.
