Description: Price explores the views of Plato and Aristotle on how virtue of character and practical reasoning enable agents to achieve eudaimonia - the state of living or acting well. He provides a philosophical analysis and argues that the perennial question of action within human life is central to the reflections of ancient philosophers.
