Happiness Philosophies

[Damir Elezi]

Just wanted to have a list of some philosophies which talk about happiness. Those which I came across are:

Buddhist philosophy 

Taoism (I'm gonna consider Those 2 Philosophies even though I know that there is much more to it.)

Stoicism

Epicureanism

Existentialism

Aristotle's eudaimonia

Utilitarianism

Thanks in advance

@WaterfallMachine wow this seems interesting. Can you explain that to me before I sign up? Didn't find any actual explanation of what this site is

I'm sure it would include philosophy from other Eastern stuff, like Hinduism, Jainism, Confucianism.

I like to philosophize myself so I'll add something I would call Enlightened Hedonism. Instead of striving to maximize pleasure and minimize pain or suffering, like ordinary hedonism does, as far as I know, Enlightened Hedonism would be about

1) The unconditional: strategically working towards maximizing contentment and minimizing suffering

2)The conditional: pursuing one's human preferences to a reasonable extent
