520 |a "This work is an intellectual history of the pursuit of happiness. Scholars have long debated the meaning of the term, yet have tended to define it too narrowly, missing its larger context. They have focused on a single intellectual tradition, most commonly the political philosophy of Locke, and on the use of the term within a single text, the Declaration of Independence. The present work considers the term across a variety of intellectual traditions, and focuses on its usage in two key legal texts of the Founding Era: Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England as well as the Declaration. In so doing, it makes several contributions to the fields of early American intellectual and legal history"--  |c Provided by publisher.
