Inhaltsangabe
In his major new book A.C. Grayling examines the different ways to live a good life, as proposed from classical antiquity to the recent present. Grayling focuses on the two very different conceptions of what a good life should be: one is a broadly secular view rooted in attitudes about human nature and the human condition; the other is a broadly transcendental view which locates the source of moral value outside the human realm. In the modern world - the world shaped by the rise of science in the seventeenth century - these two views have come increasingly into conflict, and the constantly accumulating tension between them is one of the greatest problems faced by the twenty-first century. Using his renowned clarity of thought and philosophical rigour, AC Grayling has produced an invaluable guide through mankind's ethical struggle to live decently.

HOW DO YOU LIVE A GOOD LIFE?
Aus dem Klappentext
Many important and difficult questions arise in the course of a human life, but few can compare with the most general question any individual can ask - How shall I live a good life?
In his major new book A.C. Grayling examines the chief answers to this question, as proposed from classical antiquity to the recent present. He focuses on the two very different conceptions of what a good life should be: one is a broadly secular view rooted in attitudes about human nature and the human condition; the other is a broadly transcendental view which locates the source of moral value outside the human realm. In the modern world - the world shaped by the rise of science in the seventeenth century - these two views have come increasingly into conflict, and the constantly accumulating tension between them is one of the greatest problems faced by the twenty-first century.
A.C. Grayling tackles this contemporary dilemma, placing it in its historical context and ultimately asserting a humanist ethics against the revival of transcendentalist views. THE GOOD is a work of rare insight and clarity.
