The Quest for Ethical Living

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In an era of uncertainty and rapid change, Aristotle's profound insights into ethics and human flourishing offer a timeless guide for navigating the complexities of modern life. "The Quest for Ethical Living" delves into the core principles of Aristotle's moral philosophy, exploring the concepts of eudaimonia (happiness or flourishing), virtue, and the good life.

Aristotle believed that the ultimate goal of human existence is to achieve eudaimonia, a state of lasting well-being and fulfillment. This can only be attained through the cultivation of virtues, excellences of character that enable us to live in harmony with our rational nature.

The book explores the various virtues identified by Aristotle, including moral virtues such as courage, temperance, and justice, and intellectual virtues such as wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. It emphasizes the importance of finding a balance, a golden mean, between extremes, as virtues are not fixed traits but rather dynamic qualities that require us to navigate the complexities of human experience with prudence and discernment.

Aristotle also examines the social and political dimensions of ethics, recognizing the importance of justice in creating a harmonious and equitable society, the role of friendship in fostering human flourishing, and the relationship between ethics and political life.

With clarity and depth, "The Quest for Ethical Living" unpacks Aristotle's ethical thought, making it accessible to contemporary readers. It offers practical insights into how we can cultivate virtues, make ethical decisions, and live meaningful and fulfilling lives in an ever-changing world.

Drawing inspiration from Aristotle's wisdom, this book provides a roadmap for personal and societal transformation, inviting readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and ethical reflection. It is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to live a life of purpose, integrity, and flourishing.

All Strangers Are Kin -...

Zora O'Neill

*Winner of the Lowell Thomas Award for Best Travel Book*  
An American woman determined to learn the Arabic language travels to the Middle East to pursue her dream in this “witty memoir” (Us Weekly).  
Join Zora O’Neill for a grand tour through the Middle East, to laugh with her in Egypt, delight in the stories she passes on from the Gulf region, and find yourself transformed by her experiences in Lebanon and Morocco. She’s packed her dictionaries, her unsinkable sense of humor, and her talent for making fast friends of strangers. From quiet, bougainvillea-lined streets to the lively buzz of crowded medinas, from families’ homes to local hot spots, she brings a part of the world that is often flattened by news headlines into real and colorful relief.    
A natural storyteller with an eye for the deeply absurd and the deeply human, O’Neill explores the indelible links between culture and communication. A powerful testament to the dynamism of language, All Strangers Are Kin reminds us that learning another tongue leaves you rich with so much more than words. 
“Zora O’Neill is a wonderful writer, a hakawati who can spin a tale with the best of them.” —Rabih Alameddine, author of The Hakawati and An Unnecessary Woman 
“Wry, witty, and charmingly erudite, this lovely book goes through the looking glass of the Arabic language and emerges with a radiant image of the Arab world.” —Diana Abu-Jaber, author of Life Without a Recipe, Crescent, The Language of Baklava, and others
