HOW TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE - MASSIMO PIGLIUCCI SKY...

A collection of essays by fifteen philosophers presenting a thoughtful  introductory guide to
choosing a philosophy for living an examined and meaningful life. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL Socrates
famously said the unexamined life is not worth living  but what does it mean to truly live
philosophically? This thought-provoking  wide-ranging collection brings together essays by
fifteen leading philosophers reflecting on what it means to live according to a philosophy of
life. From Eastern philosophies (Daoism  Confucianism  and Buddhism) and classical Western
philosophies (such as Aristotelianism and Stoicism)  to the four major religions  as well as
contemporary philosophies (such as existentialism and effective altruism)  each contributor
offers a lively  personal account of how they find meaning in the practice of their chosen
philosophical tradition. Together  the pieces in How to Live a Good Life provide not only a
beginner's guide to choosing a life philosophy but also a timely portrait of what it means to
live an examined life in the twenty-first century.
