This paper was my contribution to an international conference on “Happiness East & West” held Dec. 10–11, 2009, at the University of Hong Kong. A revised and expanded version of the paper is in progress.
For more details about the conference, see this page.
Note (January 2010): I emphasize that this version is an incomplete working draft, posted because I will be using it as a course reading this term. In particular, the paper is missing many references to the secondary literature that I plan to include in the final version.
