The concept of happiness in the economic discourse of the Enlightenment

Abstract

Economic discourse in the 18th century had an ambiguous status. Indeed, when approaching the topic one must taken into account that political economy as a science was still in the making and maintained close relations with ethical thought. What we propose to analyze is this status of discourse formation in the process of becoming autonomous (with respect to ethics) through the evolution of the use of the concept of happiness in the Enlightenment, understood here as a period that covers the reigns of Carlos III and Carlos IV.
