"The Art of Happiness: Harmony within the Inner World" In an era of heightened stress and constant pursuit of success, the question of happiness becomes increasingly relevant. In his famous work "The Conquest of Happiness," philosopher and thinker Bertrand Russell sheds light on the nature of this state and paths to its attainment, emphasizing the importance of achieving harmony within the inner world as a key aspect of happiness. What makes a person happy and unhappy according to Russell's views? Happiness, according to Russell, cannot be fully conditioned by external circumstances. He argues that internal harmony plays a crucial role in the sense of satisfaction and happiness. Finding harmony within oneself means being aware of one's emotions, thoughts, and desires, as well as striving for self-improvement and self-development. A happy person, according to Russell, can accept themselves as they are and find satisfaction in their own existence. They are in ...

  Ethics in the British Legal Tradition: Reflection on " Nravstvennost " Cultural references and the legal tradition of the United Kingdom are defined by three key concepts: Conscience, Duty, and Justice and Equity. Conscience, as an internal moral compass, plays a crucial role in decision-making based on ethical principles. It is important to note that the individual nature of conscience can be influenced by social factors and cultural stereotypes, sometimes conflicting with more universally accepted moral standards. Duty in British culture is associated with an awareness of responsibilities to both society and oneself. Some mistakenly believe that the insular concept of "Moral Duty" is identical to the continental concept of " Nravstvennost ," but this is incorrect. “Nravstvennost” is a universal regulator of human behavior, while moral duties bind closed social groups and do not extend beyond their boundaries. In English legal tradition, just...
