Welcome to another post in our year-long project of trying out six different philosophies of life in the space of one year! We began the year with Aristotle (you will find all the posts here in the Substack archive, in case you missed the start of the project), then we discussed Bertrand Russell’s The Conquest of Happiness and Richard Taylor’s ideas about leading a creative life. Finally, we spent March and April discussing Erich Fromm’s psychoanalytical and Marx-inspired critique of modern society.
Now that we are coming to the end of April, and with it, to the end of our discussion of Fromm, we want to have a look at some other works and thinkers who thought that our happiness is determined to a great extent by the society we live in: today Karl Marx and next week, Alain de Botton.
