"Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination"
- Immanuel Kant
About this Quote
Immanuel Kant is suggesting that joy is not something that can be realistically reasoned or described, but rather it is a subjective concept that is pictured and viewed in a different way by each individual. This implies that joy is not a universal or objective state, however rather an individual and subjective experience.
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
