ANNAS, J., — The Morality of Happiness.

Oxford University Press, 1995. 1st paperback ed. X,502p. Paperback. ‘Interest in ancient ethics has surged in recent years, as major new work both on individual figures and on broader themes has revitalized the field and underscored anew its importance for classical studies and modern ethics alike. A leading voice in this revival has been Julia Annas, whose magnificent new book provides at once the first systematic account of ‘the form and structure of ancient ethical theory’ and detailed critical discussion of the debates that dominated moral philosophy ‘from Aristotle to Cicero’. Combining rigorous analysis with scrupulous scholarship, she isolates a set of issues and ideas that are fundamental for Aristotle and his Hellenistic successors, then explores how within this framework different thinkers articulate profoundly different conceptions of human nature and conduct. The result is a model of the philosophical history of philosophy that will be a landmark in its field and essential reading for students of ancient philosophy and of ethics for many years to come. Yet her work also deserves - and it is designed to win - a much wider audience.’ (STEPHEN A. WHITE in The American Journal of Philology, 1995, p.498).
