Aristotle on Happiness, Virtue, and Wisdom by Bryan C Reece

Aristotle on Happiness, Virtue, and Wisdom by Bryan C Reece

This book seeks to understand Aristotle's influential answers to the questions: What is happiness? What is the relationship between intellectual and practical activity? How do wise people behave? It offers a fundamentally new approach to determining what kind of activity Aristotle thinks happiness is.

'On Reece's view, the real problem (what he calls the Hard Problem of Happiness) is not that Aristotle appears to hold two different and incompatible views about happinessRather, the problem is that he clearly holds just one view of happiness which appears to involve contradictory claims. Reece's argument for seeing Aristotle's discussion in this new way is not only persuasive but also successful in injecting new life into an old and heavily discussed topic.' Jozef Muller, University of California, Riverside
