I don't think subjective experience is outside the realm of science per se (take pain relief medication research, for example), but would agree. I suppose the way one might phrase it within my model would be, you can't 'figure it all out' with just that first branch of philosophy (the "what is" branch that became science). All three branches are needed. :)DT Strainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261855680365590369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885527867833311224.post-50362874725620268192011-09-01T10:28:03.620-05:002011-09-01T10:28:03.620-05:00I love your take on it.

I took away from his article that the two approaches to happiness, the scientific and the philosophic were complimentary, both informing us and helping to guide us. I thought the thrust of his article is that scientists who make look upon philosophy as something less then and who think they can explain happiness purely scientifically are missing the point. And that is that happiness is ultimately a subjective experience.JentheHumanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908285918010182097noreply@blogger.com
