BUGANZA, Jacob. Reflexiones en torno al concepto de felicidad a partir de Francesco Maria Zanotti. En-clav. pen [online]. 2009, vol.3, n.5, pp. 83-1000. ISSN 1870-879X.

In this work, the author presents a broad concept of happiness based on the philosophy of Francesco M. Zanotti, an eighteenth-century Italian scholar. In this context, the author assumes an analogical reading which allows him to question, frst of all, the nature of the human being, and from there to answer, together with Zanotti, the questions of what kind of happpiness human beings can aspire to; he therefore distinguishes within this realm between a theoretical notion of happiness and a notion of "human happiness". Likewise, the author uses the concept of good as analogical and assumes that, rather than the analogy of proporcionality, it is the analogy of attribution which best applies to it.
