Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophical question of happiness, engaging with the ancient Greek philosophers, particularly Plato and his followers. The author meticulously explores the concept of felicity, examining whether it is an attribute solely of humans or if it extends to other living creatures. By engaging with the philosophical arguments of various schools of thought, the book reveals the authorâ� �s own views on the nature of happiness. It examines the role of reason and intellect in achieving true felicity, contrasting this with the limited capacity for happiness found in beings driven by mere instinct or sensation. The book grapples with the complexities of human existence, exploring the potential for both suffering and joy, and demonstrating that true happiness lies beyond the fleeting pleasures of material existence. The authorâ� �s insightful analysis of the relationship between soul, body, and intellect provides a fascinating exploration of the human condition. The bookâ� �s exploration of the concept of happiness as a state of being, rather than a fleeting emotion, provides a timeless perspective on a question that continues to fascinate philosophers and everyday readers alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333805319_0
