A summary of the principles of one of the greatest contemporary authors of moral philosophy.

What is a life well lived? Everyone has their own idea based on notions – goodness, truth, self-knowledge, or our relationship to death – that are often subject to misunderstanding. In this previously unpublished work, Charles Larmore brings together the necessary principles for shedding light on these fundamental concepts. Instead of proposing a universal model, he shows how each person, in their uniqueness, can reflect on the conditions for their own fulfilment and recognize the plurality of the good.
