For two millennia, Aristotle's writings have taught that the ethically "good life" is the highest purpose of human existence. In In Search of the Good Life, renowned philosopher Fred Dallmayr traces the development of this notion, illuminating the connections between Greek philosophy, Judeo-Christian tradition, Eastern religions, and postindustrial social criticism. Dallmayr searches the writings of Bonaventure, Nicolaus of Cusa, Leibniz, Montesquieu, and others, for models of the good life OP - 320 CN - JA76 .D234 2007eb SN - 9780813172682 SN - 0813172683 SN - 9780813138589 SN - 0813138582 SN - 9780813124575 SN - 0813124573 KW - Political sociology.
