Summary/Abstract: Philosophical theme as well as poetic, sociological and psychological happiness has become synonymous with the search for the absolute, eternal obsession of humanity. As already thought Plato the universal aspiration of the people is to seek happiness. Pascal Bruckner in his philosophical essay "Perpetual Euphoria" performs a critique of this exacerbated research of happiness in the contemporary western society. We try to show in this communication the indirect criticism of the author of this morality dominated by the obsession of happiness as a duty.
