Title: | Plutarch’s thoughts about happiness | Authors: | Teodorsson, Sven-Tage | Issue Date: | 2005 | Publisher: | International Plutarch Society | Abstract: | Plutarch has much to say about happiness but, as far as we know, he never devoted an essay to this subject. His conception of happiness is built on the Aristotelian principle of the golden mean (μεσότης) implying that he repudiated the extreme doctrines of Stoics and Epicureans. Plutarch emphasizes the importance of the emotions for a happy life. His conclusions about the factors of happiness have been verified by modem research in psychology, sociology and medicine. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/37610 | ISSN: | 0258-655X | DOI: | 10.14195/0258-655X_3_6 | Rights: | open access |
