Abstract:
There has been an upsurge of interest in measuring and promoting happiness. But what is it that we should be measuring and promoting? There are several contenders for what best corresponds to the word "happiness" but answering that question will not answer the question what ought we to be promoting. After considering various positions I shall make a proposal regarding both the meaning of the word and the value we should be promoting.
