Has inquiry into the meaning of life become outmoded in a universe
where the other-worldiness of religion no longer speaks to us as it
once did, or, as Nietzsche proposed, where we are now the creators
of our own value? Has the ancient question of the "good life"
disappeared, another victim of the technological world? For Luc
Ferry, the answer to both questions is a resounding no.
In "What Is the Good Life? "Ferry argues that the question of the
meaning of life, on which much philosophical debate throughout the
centuries has rested, has not vanished, but at the very least the
question is posed differently today. Ferry points out the pressures
in our secularized world that tend to reduce the idea of a
successful life or "good life" to one of wealth, career
satisfaction, and prestige. Without deserting the secular
presuppositions of our world, he shows that we can give ourselves a
richer sense of life's possibilities. The "good life" consists of
harmonizing life's different forces in a way that enables one to
achieve a sense of personal satisfaction in the realization of
one's creative abilities.
