Viac o knihe
Richard Taylor presents a compelling argument for returning to classical virtue as the foundation of ethics, contrasting it with the modern focus on divine law. He critiques the shift from personal excellence, as defined by ancient philosophers, to contemporary definitions of morality that often miss the essence of happiness. Taylor highlights Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as a vital text, advocating for its relevance in today's society. He emphasizes the need for an ethic of aspiration to reclaim the pursuit of true happiness, which he believes has been overlooked in modern philosophical discourse.
