About This Event

What is happiness? will be held on 6 November 2026 at The Geldart in Cambridge. This roundtable discussion invites participants to explore philosophical questions surrounding happiness, using Ayn Rand's writings as a starting point. Attendees are encouraged to share their thoughts and engage in dialogue about the nature of happiness.

**Quotes:** https://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/happiness.html **Questions:** 1\. What does Rand mean by "Happiness is a state of non\-contradictory joy"? 2\. Do you agree with Rand's definition of happiness? How would you define it? 3\. What is the link between rationality and happiness? 4\. Does the happiness Rand describes sound achievable? 5\. How can we\, concretely\, separate happiness from pleasure when trying to understand our current state? Come discuss this topic and whether you agree with Ayn Rand or not in a roundtable format with other interested people! We use Rand's writings as a starting point for the discussion but this group is for discussing philosophical issues more generally! Feel free to come present your or your favourite philosopher's ideas on the subject. **Location**: We will be meeting at the Geldart, most likely in the beer garden at the back. Look for an Ayn Rand book on a table **Format**: Roundtable discussion, moderated to ensure everyone gets a shot at intervening on each point and to keep the discussion on topic. Feel free to message the group if you have any trouble finding us or ask the bartenders
