Abstract

It is a known fact that Strategic Arms Limitation Talks and other related talks on nuclear arms disarmament have failed to achieve a nuclear arms agreement among nations that will lead to nuclear-free World. It is almost impossible to accomplish this single task for more than 71 (seventy-one) years. Every scholar in the globe has an opinion towards nuclear arms limitation talks. It is tricky to say whether or not SALT is an Ethical or Political problem? This paper tries to answer this question. As a result, it is incorrect to treat nuclear weapons control, which exists in the realms of 'ought,' as a scientific or political problem that exists in the realm of 'is.' Moral expressions are in the regions of 'ought' above every fact and science, custom and tradition, despite the existence of several ethical systems.

Abstract

Philosophers from different epochs; from Socrates to Buddha, all were more than willing to advise others on how to live a happy life. The desires that people do not necessarily require to become happy or maintain the state of happiness for considerable period are myriad. The reason for this can be seen in Aristotle’s view that the goal of the human action and thought is to be happy. Humans engage in a range of activities that make them feel happy and try to shun those that neither bring happiness nor make them feel appreciated. The thrust of this paper is to see if there are limitations to happiness? And what connection does religion has with the concept of happiness.
