Natalia Dos Santos Lopez September, 2021 PHI 393-0 Response Four Fred Feldman's overall concept and nature of Happiness is very interesting. Starting off, he states that humans have a moral obligation to themselves and to others to promote Happiness. Humans have the full capacity and right to pursue Happiness since it seems to be the goal in life. Human behavior is chalked up to decisions made in the pursuit of Happiness. Feldman goes into several philosophies of Happiness and how to achieve it. He also provides various counterarguments to various of the philosophies. First, Feldman considers Sensory Hedonism' in which Happiness is just a surplus of pleasure outweighing the pain. The second being a state of no change in which present experience causes Happiness. The third being receiving all a person wants allows for Happiness to be achieved. And finally, satisfaction with one's whole life. Feldman believes that instead of episodes of Happiness that one experiences, one must focus on long intervals of being pleased coursing throughout one's entire life. Instead of periods in which one is happy', he states that one should focus on longer moments which create an entirety of Happiness. Or that's what I got from it
