Beatrix Himmelmann demonstrates how much Kant did actually have to say on the theme of happiness, which he had allegedly banned from his considerations. She presents a comprehensive historical and systematic account of Kant's ethics and demonstrates conclusively why recent discussions on the question of the good life do not have to go right back to ancient philosophy.
