- Note: This is the revised version of a paper that I presented at the Fifth Annual Conference of the Interdisciplinary Coalition of North American Phenomenologists, Ramapo College of New Jersey, May 24–26, 2013. The purpose of the article is neither to engage in empirical investigations nor to get involved in philological altercations. Rather, the intent is to exhort phenomenologists to do what positive psychologists and analytic philosophers have been doing for some time now, namely, to take a close look at happiness as a phenomenon of human experience. If the article also has the effect of getting philosophers and psychologists to take a phenomenological approach to happiness, then that would not be a bad thing either. The literature listed at the end invites all readers to a further exploration of the topic.
