This book is about happiness and about how the supremely happy life
- the life blessed with what Aristotle refers to as eudaimonia - is
the life of an ethical individual living in a healthy community.
Much ethical literature has drawn inspiration from Aristotle's
outlook, but relatively little attention has been paid to the
central concept of Aristotle's ethical system - the concept of
eudaimonia. This book fills this important gap, focusing on
Aristotle's central ethical concept and, among other things, using
Davidson's account of mind and rationality to explain central
Aristotelian claims relating to the structure of the psychological
domain and to our radical interconnectedness. Starting with
Aristotle, Tabensky shows how the ethical domain can best be
understood in relation to our fundamental desire to live happy
lives. Recapturing the Greek spirit, this book is an invitation to
rethink the manner in which we understand our lives and the manner
in which we conduct ourselves, and it is an invitation to do so in
relation to an understanding of the sorts of creatures we are -
creatures living for the sake of happiness.
