Synopsis
A practical guide to happiness and moral value that challenges simple utilitarian answers.
This nonfiction work argues that not all satisfactions are equal in guiding a good life. It shows how happiness depends on a balance between mind and body and why some pleasures, especially those of the mind, can be more valuable than sheer intensity. The author challenges utilitarian ideas by insisting there are higher and lower kinds of satisfaction, and that a complete theory of morality must account for this.
- Learn how the quantity of pleasure alone cannot determine the moral worth of actions.
- See why intellectual, artistic, and spiritual satisfactions are often regarded as higher.
- Discover a framework that links personal happiness with ethical reasoning grounded in human experience.
- Explore how philosophy can illuminate the intuitive sense that some desires are better aligned with a good life than others.
Ideal for readers of moral philosophy, ethics, and anyone curious about how happiness relates to right action.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of ethical philosophy, exploring the ongoing debate between ethical absolutism and ethical relativism. The author argues against the notion of a single, universally applicable moral code, highlighting the diversity of moral standards across cultures and throughout history. The book challenges the traditional view of morality as dictated by a higher power or objective truth, instead proposing that moral values are rooted in human emotions and experiences. By examining the influence of cultural contexts and personal beliefs on ethical decision-making, the author advocates for a more nuanced understanding of morality. This thought-provoking exploration of ethical theory invites readers to question their own assumptions about right and wrong, and to consider the complex interplay between individual perspectives and societal norms in shaping our moral landscape. Ultimately, the book's insights encourage a deeper appreciation for the diverse tapestry of human values and the ever-evolving nature of ethical thought.
