Abstract
Examines Hume’s understanding of happiness, what it is and what its role or significance is. His argument is placed in the context of two historically salient senses of happiness, as eudaimonic (represented by Aristotle) and hedonic (represented by Bentham). Further elucidation of Hume’s position is provided by a comparison with Stoicsm and the modern discipline of ‘happiness studies’. Hume’s argument is integral to his broad defence of the material advantages of commercial society.
