Lessons from a new science? On teaching happiness in schools
Journal of Philosophy of Education 42 (3-4):575-590 (2008)
Abstract
Recent media reports about new programmes for 'happiness lessons' in schools signal a welcome concern with children's well-being. However, as I shall argue, the presuppositions of the discourse in which many of these proposals are framed, and their orientation towards particular strands of positive psychology, involve ideas about human life that are, in an important sense, anti-educational.Author's Profile
