Philosophy Discussion Group (PDG)
The Philosophy Discussion Group (PDG) meets every month to discuss a philosophical issue. We choose a theme. I put links on web page. At the meeting, we discuss and choose a theme for next time. It's that simple. Everyone is always invited. Pizza and drinks are provided with the generous support of the SGA.

Happiness
We all want happiness. We want it a lot. It’s hard to think of anything we want more than happiness, or anything we want that isn’t just a way to make us happy, or anything we’d refuse if we knew it would make us happy. But, if happiness is so important, why don’t we study it more? Can there be a science of happiness? Is happiness a product of your attitude, your physical state, or something else? Is each person different or do the same things make all humans happy? Can you be wrong about what will make you happy or whether you are happy? Are humans good at pursuing happiness or do we make regular and predictable mistakes? Most importantly, could happiness be overrated? This month, the PDG discusses happiness.
