But where do we turn for guidance as we choose how to live? Are we so focused on choosing what we want for our lives that we have forgotten to ask ourselves \u003ci\u003ewhat is a good life\u003c\/i\u003e and what is \u003ci\u003eworth\u003c\/i\u003e wanting? In \u003ci\u003eWhat Is the Good Life?: Perspectives from Religion, Philosophy, and Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e, leading scholar-practitioners from nine different traditions--religious and secular--each offer an account of the good life. These accounts explore the \u003ci\u003edistinct\u003c\/i\u003e visions construed by their respective traditions from within a \u003ci\u003eshared\u003c\/i\u003e threefold heuristic schema of agency, circumstance, and affect. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in this way, the existential concern and normative force of these traditions are brought to the fore, inviting readers to explore the commonality of this central question across a variety of traditions \u003ci\u003ealongside\u003c\/i\u003e their unique and distinct responses. \u003ci\u003eWhat Is the Good Life?\u003c\/i\u003e offers readers a conceptual guide for navigating our pluralistic world and specific examples of the visions of the good life they might encounter. Although these traditions provide decidedly different accounts of the good life, they are united in their capacity to make claims about the world and our place in it--normative claims, with ineradicable existential force--with which we might grapple, provided we are given the opportunity. And it is the invitation to take up such first-person grappling that this book provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrew Collins is Associate Research Scholar at Yale Divinity School.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatt Croasmun is Associate Research Scholar and Director of the Life Worth Living Program at the Yale Center for Faith and Culture and Lecturer of Divinity \u0026amp; Humanities at Yale University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 8.98 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51776464224544,"sku":"9781481318013","price":89.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b73db54576fa151aea72e4a382f0dd80.webp?v=1780480084","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/what-is-the-good-life-perspectives-from-religion-philosophy-and-psychology-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
