The issue of happiness makes a significant re-entrance into contemporary philosophical thought. From the perspective of individual ethics, two aspects take center-stage: the continuation of the program of Eudaimonia as reasonable self-determination towards good and the experience of momentary episodic happiness which surpasses the individual quest. This essay tries to combine these elements into a theological notion of happiness by arguing for re-evaluation of the quest-driven approach of Eudaimonia that in turn has obtained its impulse through a momentary experience of transcendence.
