The Great Happiness Principle - Jeremy Bentham
Anyone interested in this thread might want to read about Jeremy Bentham.
He devoted much of his writing to the pursuit of happiness and how it should
be balanced and when it becomes immoral. I just stumbled across him in a book called "The Great Philosophers" that I picked up at B&N. I don't know anything more about him than the 4 pages I read in that book.
I don't think we're supposed to put links up on this forum. But just Google
"jeremy bentham happiness" and start reading.
