Book description
What is happiness? How is it related to pleasure? Is
it within everyone's power to achieve? Or is the good life available
only to those who are rich and powerful?
This volume contains penetrating studies of these topics in ancient
philosophy deriving from two recent academic conferences of the Australasian
Society for Ancient Philosophy devoted to specific themes: 'Pleasures, Pain
and Power' (held at the University of Newcastle, NSW, in April 1997), and
'Virtues and Vices' (University of Auckland, New Zealand, in July 1999).
All the papers included have been independently peer-reviewed and revised
prior to being accepted for publication.
