Ancient Proposals and Contemporary Theory

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Vogt puts forward a novel version of the Guise of the Good: the desire to have one's life go well shapes and sustains mid- and small-scale motivations. Her book lays out a non-relativist version of Protagoras's Measure Doctrine and defends a new realism about good human lives.
