內容簡介
Uniquely and engagingly, the author of Happiness Really uses brief fictional narratives to demonstrate and illustrate Aristotle's discussions on happiness, pleasure, passions, virtue, wealth, friendship, and other vital aspects of our lives via contemporary characters in six different scenarios. The anecdotes generate the desired effect, theme, character, tone, mood, and style. Aristotle's wisdom is eternal. More than 2,239 years have elapsed since his death. Still, his work lives on and is very much alive today as it was then. For no matter the passage of time, the time-tested concepts are true now and have practical, philosophical, and spiritual meanings in our daily lives. Happiness, pleasure, virtue, vice, pains and discontents, reasoning, deliberation, passions, love, and friendship are poured into Aristotle's kylix and offered to you. But you need not taste it - for you have already felt these 'things' in your own private and personal kylix. Whether you thought it was a pleasure and ended causing you discontent, you are not alone. The characters in these stories have their own kylikes.
You will meet them in this book:
- Andriana, the daughter of a tycoon, in her private yacht and later on enjoying a night under the stars - and observe the way she had manifested her discontent... - The president and his chief of staff in the Oval Office discussing How to Make the People of America Great Again
- The duck hunter and his two buddies pursue their passion beyond 'the limit' in a crisp fall morning...
- Ms. A.B. is battling with the judge in the courtroom to allow her to cohabit with the man she loves and the man the judge disapproves of for apparent reasons...
- Simon Wang, a stock trader, contemplates his future and his version of Happiness as manifested by his deeds...
- Camila, the Mexican woman who lives illegally in the United States of America and how she pursued her dreams to bring her little girl one day to America...
Aristotle offers us his wisdom in many ways. It is common sense, but we may realize this after the fact. Knowing, thinking, and acting purposely, therefore, is front and center in Aristotle's pronouncements. Happiness could mean different things to different people. Possessions and human attributes can be subject to the same misconception, which can cause harm to many people. Aristotle reminds us that specific individuals have been ruined by their wealth and others by their bravery.
Aristotle cautions us to be alert in accepting everything we hear as being an indisputable fact. For Aristotle, a notable characteristic of a learned person is to seek precision in each instance to the degree that the nature of the subject matter permits.
The above is only scant references to the depth of perception of this great philosopher and scientist. Aristotle's intellectual spectrum was enormous, including the sciences, the arts, ethics, rhetoric, philosophy, psychology, zoology, politics, biology, botany, chemistry, history, metaphysics, physics, poetics, and logic. Author's personal note: I enjoyed writing Happiness Really. It was hard while writing it, but the fruits of bringing it to life taste sweet. Humbly - and with gratitude - I am deeply indebted to Aristotle. Happy Reading. Andreas Solomos.
