To the campus community,

We became aware today of a recent social media post by an Ithaca College student that contains an abhorrent racial slur. The college strongly condemns such language as antithetical to our values, and we understand the hurt that our community has experienced as a result of it. Such incidents are a reminder that we can never become complacent, and that education is a constant and ongoing necessity when striving to make our campus a place where respect for all people is truly our community’s standard.

This long treatment appears in the proceedings of an international Arts & Humanities conference in Hawaii--I'll present it in January. It covers a lot of contemporary cognitive studies on the topic, liberally referencing what classical philosophers have said about it, and it's also sprinkled with personal reflection. It first discusses social factors of happiness, such as money, marriage, children, etc., and then psychological factors, such as personal values and religious beliefs. Then it explores more philosophical issues, such as how best to define and measure happiness (should we conflate it with virtue, as classical philosophers do); what is its relationship to melancholy and to the perception of beauty; and, finally, is it something we should even try to pursue--is there any value in thinking of it as a goal, especially given that our cognitive habits make it so elusive.
