Distinguished Faculty Lecture. Professor Fred Feldman of the Department of Philosophy will present a lecture entitled "What Is This Thing Called Happiness?" Economists, sociologists, psychologists, and others frequently report excitingly on their empirical research on happiness yet they seem to come to wildly different conclusions about what makes us happy and when we are happiest. Drawing on his latest book, Professor Feldman will describe recent popular research methodologies, argue that much empirical research focuses on things that do not deserve to be called happiness, and make a case that defining happiness is a job for philosophy. 4:00pm, Mullins Center, Massachusetts Room, Live Stream available
