About the book >.>.> In Philosophy and the Good Life: Reason and the Passions in Greek, Cartesian and Psychoanalytic Ethics, John Cottingham explores whether philosophy can enhance our lives through a comprehensive understanding of human nature. He systematically investigates three significant philosophical approaches to this enduring question, beginning with Classical philosophers and their struggles against the powerful forces of human passions. He then delves into the moral psychology of René Descartes before concluding with a critical analysis of modern psychoanalytic theory, which offers valuable insights into our human condition.Cottingham?s examination presents a fresh and provocative perspective that bridges moral philosophy and psychology, making it relevant for both students and specialists in the field. His discussion of Descartes? views on the relationship between mind and consciousness emerges as particularly enlightening, shedding light on a recurring theme in intellectual history that often remains implicitly acknowledged. By carefully organising his arguments and selecting key figures, Cottingham provides a clear and compelling narrative that engages readers deeply with philosophical inquiries about ethics and the human experience.Through this study, readers are invited to reflect on their own understanding of the good life and the role of reason and passion in shaping ethical frameworks. The book challenges its audience to rethink established notions and consider how these philosophical insights apply in contemporary contexts, thus fostering a more nuanced conception of ethical living.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Can philosophy enable us to lead better lives through a systematic understanding of our human nature John Cottingham's thought-provoking 1998 study examines the contrasting approaches to this problem found in three major phases of Western philosophy. Starting with the attempts of Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics and Epicureans to cope with the recalcitrant forces of the passions, he moves on to examine the fascinating and hitherto little-studied moral psychology of Descartes, and his effort to integrate the physical and emotional aspects of our humanity into a rational blueprint for fulfilment. He concludes by analysing the insights of modern psychoanalytic theory into the human predicament, arguing that philosophy neglects them at its peril if it hopes to come to terms with the complex relationship between reason and the emotions. Lucid in exposition and unusually wide-ranging in scope, Philosophy and the Good Life provides a challenging perspective on moral philosophy and psychology for students and specialists alike.…
