Cahn and Christine Vitrano Foreword by Robert B. Talisse In Happiness and Goodness, Steven M. Cahn and Christine Vitrano suggest that moral behavior is not necessary for happiness and does not ensure it. Yet they also argue that morality and happiness are needed for living well, and together suffice to achieve that goal. Cahn and Vitrano link their position to elements within both the Hellenistic and Hebraic traditions, in particular the views of Epicurus and lessons found in the Book of Ecclesiastes. Written in an accessible style and illustrated with incisive vignettes drawn from history, literature, films, and everyday life, Happiness and Goodness is a compelling work of philosophy for anyone who seeks to understand the nature of a good life. Read More - Read Robert Talisse's foreword   - Read an excerpt in which Cahn and Vitrano discuss the relationship between religion and morality $19.95 $13.97 / Paperback / 136 pages / £13.95*   USE COUPON CODE "EMAIL" AND SAVE 30%   *Customers in UK, Europe, and Middle East please contact customer@wiley.com   STAY CONNECTED
