"This 3 CD boxset features the conferences of two philosophers separately and their meeting in a discussion on the notion of happiness. Each one studies a different cultural point of view of this decisive notion to reflect its signification in the Western World and in the Chinese philosophy. After a separated explanation of these two philosophies (in the first 2 CDs), Andre Comte-Sponville and Francois Laperou have a discussion and confront with each over in a very instructive exchange of their two knowledges."
