Daedalus
While on the topic of Happiness, take a look at the recent issue of Daedalus, a publication by the American Academy of Arts and Science. There is an interesting article which historically surveys how happiness changed from the notion of 'pleasure in virtue' to the notion of 'virtue in pleasure and pleasure in virtue'.
I recommend this Journal for one simple reason - that the journal always has a wonderful collection of articles from people in very different areas with very different viewpoints. The journal has previsouly focused on issues such as Learning, Science, International Justice, Beauty etc.
p.s. While browsing their website, I realised that Senator Paul Sarbanes (of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) has recently been elected into the Academy. Comments?
