Write an essay of three or more pages in which you compare and contrast three definitions of happiness: Jeffersonian “eudaimonia,” hedonism, and life satisfaction.
Support your claims with direct quotations and paraphrase from Jon Meacham’s “Free to Be Happy,” Daniel M. Haybron’s Happiness and Its Discontents,” and other sources. You might find Haybron’s entry “Happiness” in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy helpful.
