La psicología de la felicidad de Bertrand Russell

Palabras clave: felicidad, psicología, Bertrand Russell, filosofía

Resumen

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), filósofo británico, fue uno de los referentes intelectuales con mayor brillo en el siglo XX. A lo largo de su carrera demostró una gran versación en muchos campos, pero sus principales áreas de actividad fueron la filosofía, la cátedra universitaria y el activismo social, con una preocupación tanto por los asuntos complejos y abstractos de la filosofía como por las inquietudes cotidianas que aquejan al mundo moderno. La considerable amplitud de intereses de Russell también lo acercaron a varios tópicos de relevancia para la psicología moderna, entre ellos la felicidad. Russell se ocupó de las características de la persona feliz en una época en que este problema aún estaba lejos de constituir un tópico regular de la psicología y cuando su inserción en las reflexiones habituales de la filosofía aún resultaba infrecuente. Este artículo analiza el pensamiento de Russell en relación a la felicidad y la relevancia que le corresponde como parte de la experiencia humana, así como sus teorías respecto de su naturaleza y significación. El análisis del artículo es teórico y se fundamenta en una discusión de las fuentes publicadas por Russell sobre la felicidad y su sentido para la experiencia humana.
