Das Projekt zielt auf die kreative Neubelebung eines in zeigenössischer Philosophie fast verschwundenen Grundzugs aller bedeutsamen Philosophie von Epikur bis Nietzsche: Die Begründung der Imperative des Glücks, der Freude und fröhlicher Wissenschaft als Voraussetzung für alle menschlichen Tätigkeiten und Verhältnisse, welche zugleich menschengerecht und naturbewahrend sein sollen.
„Des menschlichen Lebens letztes Ziel ist: Glückseligkeit.“ (Thomas von Aquin)
"Die Untersuchung des glücklichen Lebens ist der einzige Gegenstand, den sich die Philosophie zum Zweck und Ziel setzen muss." (Cicero)

An assistant instructor will assist a master instructor (professor) in teaching a 100 level philosophy course. About 375 students register for the course a semester. His duty includes (1) grading exams, quizzes, term papers, and postings in online discussion boards, (2) commenting on students’ postings in the online discussion boards, (3) assigning final grades to students, and (4) responding to students’ email inquiries. He will sit in master instructors’ offline classes at least two times a week. He will not teach any offline class. So he will act more like a teaching assistant than a professor teaching an independent course. Contract can be renewed every year depending on the job performance.
