Abstract

After considering and rejecting several arguments on both sides of the question, I conclude that it is good to make happy people (and not merely good to make people happy). This is the fourth chapter of my dissertation, Hedonic Value (Director: Jonathan Bennett), Syracuse University, August, 1998.
