Happiness from a Philosophical point of view: a reading in a book: (The most beautiful story in the history of philosophy). Luc Ferry

Abstract

This review seeks to present happiness from a philosophical point of view, by reviewing the book (The Most Beautiful Story in the History of Philosophy), trying to divide it into an introduction, five sections, and results. The first section is concerned with the human being as a piece of the cosmos. The second section focused on religious/Christian salvation: another perspective to achieve happiness. The third section focused on man's detachment from cosmological and theological determinants and the establishment of happiness according to the will of the ego - the thinker. The fourth section touched on the deconstructive/critical review of modern ideology after it had become a foundational tendency.  The fifth section approached the good life through the experience of love. The review concluded with the assertion that the issue of happiness, to the extent that it remained a philosophical demand since ancient times, has become of paramount importance in our contemporary context, due to the fragmentation of the meaning, which reflected negatively on the compass of modern man. This is how Luke Ferry's idea of ​​imprinting the principle of love on the human experience is as important as it was to achieving human happiness.
