October Update

This month, I prioritized planning on the next steps of my project and discussing them with my manager and liaison instead of actively posting resources on the website.

The next issue I will tackle is: How to maintain happiness and positivity?

After brainstorming myself and bouncing off ideas with Ms. Bendall, my liaison, here is the list of prospective philosophies that may lend a hand:

Jeremy Bentham: Utilitarianism

Aristotle: virtue ethics and the procurement of Eudaimonia

Susan Wolf: “Happiness and Meaning”

Siddhartha Gautama: Happiness are those who have overcome their ego

Frederich Nietzche: False modesty and the lack of interest in heroism

Ralph Waldo Emerson: transcendentalism

Jean-Jacques Rousseau: the state of nature

In addition to the above-listed philosophies, I want to research more eastern Asian philosophies as well.

Starting from this week, I will research one of these philosophies and produce one article regarding how each philosophy can help us procure happiness in life. This cycle will continue for November and possibly early December. I aim to publish all the resources addressing this challenge by the end of December.
