Six myths about the good life : thinking about what has value - Kupperman Joel (Indianapolis : Hackett Pub. Co., 2006)
Myth one : pursuing comfort and pleasure will lead to the best possible life -- Myth two : the desirable life equals the one that is most happy -- Myth three : the good life requires reaching a good equilibrium, a point at which the important difficulties are resolved -- Myth four : reason rather than emotions would be the best indicator of what would be a good life -- Myth five : there is no real connection, at least in this life, between true virtue and a desirable kind of life -- Myth six : true virtue is impeccable -- How can we know what has value?
