Description: Aristotle's Way by Edith Hall Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Originally published: London: The Bodley Head, 2018. Publisher Description From renowned classicist Edith Hall, ARISTOTLES WAY is an examination of one of historys greatest philosophers, showing us how to lead happy, fulfilled, and meaningful livesAristotle was the first philosopher to inquire into subjective happiness, and he understood its essence better and more clearly than anyone since. According to Aristotle, happiness is not about well-being, but instead a lasting state of contentment, which should be the ultimate goal of human life. We become happy through finding a purpose, realizing our potential, and modifying our behavior to become the best version of ourselves. With these objectives in mind, Aristotle developed a humane program for becoming a happy person, which has stood the test of time, comprising much of what today we associate with the good life: meaning, creativity, and positivity. Most importantly, Aristotle understood happiness as available to the vast majority us, but only, crucially, if we decide to apply ourselves to its creation--and he led by example. As Hall writes, "If you believe that the goal of human life is to maximize happiness, then you are a budding Aristotelian."In expert yet vibrant modern language, Hall lays out the crux of Aristotles thinking, mixing affecting autobiographical anecdotes with a deep wealth of classical learning. For Hall, whose own life has been greatly improved by her understanding of Aristotle, this is an intensely personal subject. She distills his ancient wisdom into ten practical and universal lessons to help us confront lifes difficult and crucial moments, summarizing a lifetime of the most rarefied and brilliant scholarship. Author Biography Edith Hall first encountered Aristotle when she was twenty, and he changed her life forever. Now one of Britains foremost classicists, and a Professor at Kings College London, she is the first woman to have won the Erasmus Medal of the European Academy. In 2017 she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Athens University, just a few streets away from Aristotles own Lyceum. She is the author of several books, including Introducing the Ancient Greeks. She lives with her family in Cambridgeshire.
