This review is from: Kant on Happiness in Ethics (SUNY Series in Ethica (Suny Series in Ethical Theory) (Paperback)

If you're interested in learning about Kant's conception of happiness, I highly recommend starting with this book! Wike does an exemplary job of surveying much (if not all) of the literature written on Kant's conception of happiness and does so in a way that helps the reader to understand the implications of differing (and dissenting) perspectives on the topic. Put differently, this book is at least (metaphorically speaking) a type of road map to understanding Kant's conception of happiness and it's implication for his moral theory.
