| Zusammenfassung: | The account of the best life for humans -- i.e. a happy or flourishing life -- and what it might consist of was the central theme of ancient ethics. But what does it take to have a life that, if not happy, is at least worth living, compared with being dead or never having come into life? This question was also much discussed in antiquity, and David Machek's book reconstructs, for the first time, philosophical engagements with the question from Socrates to Plotinus. Machek's comprehensive book explores ancient views on a life worth living against a background of the pessimistic outlook on the human condition which was adopted by the Greek poets, and also shows the continuities and contrasts between the ancient perspective and modern philosophical debates about biomedical ethics and the ethics of procreation. His rich study of this relatively neglected theme offers a fresh and compelling narrative of ancient ethics"-- "This book is a first systematic study of ancient views about what it takes to have a life at least barely worth living. It is of interest to specialists in ancient philosophy as well as to philosophers working on related themes, such as the ethics of procreation, from contemporary perspective"-- |

Plato on making life worth living by doing one's job -- 2. Aristotle on the natural goodness of life -- 3. Decoupling happy life from life worth living in Stoicism -- 4. Decoupling happy life from life worth living in Stoicism -- 4. Threshold nears the target: Hellenistic hedonists on the life worth living -- 5. Peripatetics on vicious humans and caged animals -- 6. Plotinus on the worth of embodied existence -- Conclusions The account of the best life for humans -- i.e. a happy or flourishing life -- and what it might consist of was the central theme of ancient ethics. But what does it take to have a life that, if not happy, is at least worth living, compared with being dead or never having come into life? This question was also much discussed in antiquity, and David Machek's book reconstructs, for the first time, philosophical engagements with the question from Socrates to Plotinus. Machek's comprehensive book explores ancient views on a life worth living against a background of the pessimistic outlook on the human condition which was adopted by the Greek poets, and also shows the continuities and contrasts between the ancient perspective and modern philosophical debates about biomedical ethics and the ethics of procreation. His rich study of this relatively neglected theme offers a fresh and compelling narrative of ancient ethics"-- "This book is a first systematic study of ancient views about what it takes to have a life at least barely worth living. It is of interest to specialists in ancient philosophy as well as to philosophers working on related themes, such as the ethics of procreation, from contemporary perspective"-- Plotinus 205-270 (DE-588)118595164 gnd rswk-swf Plato v427-v347 (DE-588)118594893 gnd rswk-swf Aristoteles v384-v322 (DE-588)118650130 gnd rswk-swf Ideengeschichte gnd rswk-swf Stoizismus (DE-588)4128559-1 gnd rswk-swf Gutes Leben (DE-588)4494281-3 gnd rswk-swf Lebensphilosophie (DE-588)4138347-3 gnd rswk-swf Römisches Reich (DE-588)4076778-4 gnd rswk-swf Griechenland Altertum (DE-588)4093976-5 gnd rswk-swf Philosophy, Ancient Ethics, Ancient Conduct of life / Philosophy Wisdom Plato Aristotle Plotinus Griechenland Altertum (DE-588)4093976-5 g Römisches Reich (DE-588)4076778-4 g Gutes Leben (DE-588)4494281-3 s Lebensphilosophie (DE-588)4138347-3 s Ideengeschichte z DE-604 Plato v427-v347 (DE-588)118594893 p Aristoteles v384-v322 (DE-588)118650130 p Plotinus 205-270 (DE-588)118595164 p Stoizismus (DE-588)4128559-1 s Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034313503&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
