توضیحات
The author of How to Be a Stoic asks what might be philosophy's ultimate question: can we learn to be better people? “Pigliucci’sexpert account of ancient ethics will help us save our souls, and thereby, just maybe, save the world.”―JamesRomm, author ofPlato and the Tyrant Are good peopleborn,or made? Since ancient times, the question has been of paramount importance. Inthe Athensof 430 BCE, Socrates set out to teach Alcibiades, who sought to lead his city, how to be a good person. Socrates failed spectacularly, and all of Athens paid the price. InThe Quest for Character, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci asks what this famous story and others, including those of Alexander, Marcus Aurelius, and Cato, can teach us today. He blends ancient sources with modern interpretations to present a philosophy of personal excellence, helping us see what we might demandofour leaders—and what we might cultivate in ourselves. TheQuest forCharacterreveals that being a good person is a matter of will, notsimpleluck. Whether we areseekingto train aphilosopherkind, educate a child, or simply improve ourselves, this book reveals the essential steps on the road to an excellent life.
