I have removed the critical part.--Nobody60 (talk) 14:05, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Epicurus[edit]

This article says that Epicureanism is often confused with hedonism and that hedonism is the desire for extreme external pleasure. This is incorrect. Epicureanism is a form of hedonism, and the given definition for "hedonism" is incorrect. Also note that Epicureanism appears on the wikipedia page for Hedonism... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.26.184.75 (talk) 15:40, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Socrates[edit]

The subsection titled Socrates doesn't actually say anything about happiness. I'm reluctant to remove it though because it is well written. Can someone who is familiar with the philosophy of Socrates add a few words about his view on happiness? --George (talk) 19:38, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Overhaul[edit]

I've just finished a massive overhaul of the page. If anyone would like to reinstate any aspect of what has been deleted, feel free too - as long as what is being reintroduced is well-cited. Tradereddy (talk) 18:59, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to or inserting the last section somewhere else[edit]

It does not seem that the section “Cultures not seeking to maximize happiness” should have it’s own section. The other sections are time frame related so perhaps this thought should be expanded on in other sections more specifically. I added some information on utilitarianism, an opposing view, to make the information more relevant. Dhernandez98 (talk) 00:17, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This contribution is VERY Eurocentric / West centric[edit]

Many sources of information on the contributions of non western thinkers. For example, Pursuit-of-Happiness.org — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kim99 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
