| COM LIT (S25) | 210 HAPPINESS&DSCONTENT | MALABOU, C. |
| HAPPINESS AND ITS DICSONTENTS Catherine Malabou Graduate seminar Spring 2025 In Civilization and Its Discontent, Freud declares : “The programme of becoming happy, which the pleasure principle imposes on us, cannot be fulfilled; yet we must not — indeed, we cannot — give up our efforts to bring it nearer to fulfilment by some means or other. Very different paths may be taken in that direction, and we may give priority either to the positive aspect of the aim, that of gaining pleasure, or to its negative one, that of avoiding unpleasure. By none of these paths can we attain all that we desire. Happiness, in the reduced sense in which we recognize it as possible, is a problem of the economics of the individual’s libido. There is no golden rule which applies to everyone: every man must find out for himself in what particular fashion he can be saved.”In this course we will examine the contradictory thesis of the impossibility of happiness and the indispensability of its search. By studying the various philosophical traditions of the question of happiness (eudemonism, care of the self, utilitarianism, right to happiness, political utopias), starting from Plato and up to Marx and psychoanalysis, we will each time contrast an example and a counter-example of happiness. | ||
