Sommario/riassunto

John Kekes examines the indispensable role enjoyment plays in a good life. The key to it is developing a style of life that combines an attitude and a manner of living and acting that jointly express one's deepest concerns. Kekes reorients moral thought toward a reasonable but pluralistic reflection on what we can do to make our lives better.
