"This book is a work in moral philosophy. The things that I say here are reflections from what is old, but they intended to bring us back into what is most fundamental within us. The very inspiration is simple. It comes from the desire to live fully well. The good life is not some kind of heavenly body that we dream of reaching from without,. Rather, the good life, I think, is something that dwells in our innermost convictions, in our effort and commitment to live in a world that is just, in a world that is just, in a world where freedom truly reigns. The pursuit of the moral good, which is at the core of our humanity, I think, is the basic moral principle." --Preface
