Has the ancient question of the \"good life\" disappeared  another victim of the technological world? For Luc Ferry  the answer to both questions is a resounding no.  In What Is the Good Life? Ferry argues that the question of the meaning of life  on which much philosophical debate throughout the centuries has rested  has not vanished  but at the very least the question is posed differently today. Ferry points out the pressures in our secularized world that tend to reduce the idea of a successful life or \"good life\" to one of wealth  career satisfaction  and prestige. Without deserting the secular presuppositions of our world  he shows that we can give ourselves a richer sense of lifes possibilities. The \"good life\" consists of harmonizing lifes different forces in a way that enables one to achieve a sense of personal satisfaction in the realization of ones creative abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276524806197,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226244539","price":242.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780226244532.jpg?v=1780554535","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/what-is-the-good-life-9780226244532","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
