We have more options and choices to make about how we want to live
than ever before. But where do we turn for guidance as we choose
how to live? Are we so focused on choosing what we want for our
lives that we have forgotten to ask ourselves what is a good life
and what is worth wanting? In What is the Good Life?: Perspectives
from Religion, Philosophy, and Psychology, leading
scholar-practitioners from nine different traditions--religious and
secular--each offer an account of the good life. These accounts
explore the distinct visions construed by their respective
traditions from within a shared threefold heuristic schema of
agency, circumstance, and affect. Presented in this way, the
existential concern and normative force of these traditions are
brought to the fore, inviting readers to explore the commonality of
this central question across a variety of traditions alongside
their unique and distinct responses. What is the Good Life? offers
readers a conceptual guide for navigating our pluralistic world and
specific examples of the visions of the good life they might
encounter. Although these traditions provide decidedly different
accounts of the good life, they are united in their capacity to
make claims about the world and our place in it--normative claims,
with ineradicable existential force--with which we might grapple,
provided we are given the opportunity. And it is the invitation to
take up such first-person grappling that this book provides.
