The happiness formula of the first rector of the reopened University of Tartu, the physicist Georg Friedrich Parrot, was based on the desire of the Enlightenment scholar to systematize and rationalize everything. As an Enlightenment thinker, he did not write a romantic poem or philosophical tract, but drew a scheme, organizing everything necessary to make people happy into a single pyramid of concepts.

The Enlightenment optimism and courage to think big, as expressed in the formula of happiness, is inspiring.
