Hi Nick
"the capacity to realize what is of value in life"?
This seems a very good starting point to me. It is grounded in what we
are able to achieve in practice, but better still it requires that we
consider and articulate what is of value to us. I wonder if other
members have read Robert Pirsig's novels and are aware of the
relevance of his ideas to such an exploration of values and the
goal of eudaimonia?
I also suspect that Roy Bhaskar's critical realist school of thought
may be a useful source of ideas and fellowship. Anyone else aware
of Bhaskar?
Here's an interview for those who may be interested:
