How should we evaluate the success of each person's life?
Countering the prevalent philosophical perspective on the subject,
Steven M. Cahn and Christine Vitrano defend the view that our
well-being is dependent not on particular activities,
accomplishments, or awards but on finding personal satisfaction
while treating others with due concern. The authors suggest that
moral behavior is not necessary for happiness and does not ensure
it. Yet they also argue that morality and happiness are needed for
living well, and together suffice to achieve that goal. Cahn and
Vitrano link their position to elements within both the Hellenistic
and Hebraic traditions, in particular the views of Epicurus and
lessons found in the Book of Ecclesiastes. Written in an accessible
style and illustrated with incisive vignettes drawn from history,
literature, films, and everyday life, Happiness and Goodness is a
compelling work of philosophy for anyone who seeks to understand
the nature of a good life.
