Video - Unraveling the Good Life: Philosophical Perspectives on Happiness and Meaning
What does it mean to live a good life? This question has perplexed thinkers for centuries, and today, we'll delve into the depths of this age-old inquiry. From Aristotle's notion of eudaimonia, or human flourishing, where virtue and reason guide us to our highest potential, to Nietzsche's challenge of traditional moral values, advocating for the creation of our own meaning, the concept of the good life is multifaceted and complex. Some argue that happiness is key, while others, like Kant, emphasize duty and moral law. As we navigate these perspectives, it becomes clear that living a good life may not have a one-size-fits-all answer. Perhaps it's a delicate balance of personal fulfillment, ethical living, and the courage to question and redefine our own values. What do you think? Is the good life an achievable ideal, or an ever-evolving pursuit?
