Is it a good time to be alive? Is ours a good society to be alive in? Is it possible to have a good life in our time? And finally, does a good life consist of having a good time? Are happiness and "a good life" interchangeable? These are the questions that Mortimer Adler addresses himself to.
The heart of the book lies in its conception of the good life for man, which provides the standard for measuring a century, a society, or a culture: for upon that turns the meaning of each man's primary moral right - his right to the pursuit of happiness. The moral philosophy that Dr. Adler expounds in terms of this conception he calls "the ethics of common sense," because it is as a defense and development of the common-sense answer to the question "can I really make a good life for myself?"Languages:EnglishPublisher:Fordham University PressISBN-13:9780823216703ISBN-10:0823216705UPC:9780823216703Book Category:PhilosophyBook Subcategory:Ethics & Moral PhilosophySize:8.30 x 5.40 x 1.00 inchesWeight:0.454Product ID:SC4HZTV3T8
