A Distinction Regarding Happiness In Ancient Philosophy
Social Research: An International Quarterly 77 (2):595-624 (2010)
Abstract
This article argues for the importance of distinguishing the form of a theory of happiness from its content. It applies this distinction to ancient ethics, to show that almost all ancient philosophers subscribed to the same basic form or conception of happiness while differing over the details or content of happiness.Other Versions
