Reviews

'Machek's book on 'the life worth living' is a fascinating addition to the literature on ancient Greek and Roman ethics. It systematically investigates, with subtlety and rigor, important questions about a worthwhile life and the value of life that are peripheral to or ignored by standard studies of ancient ethical theory.' Richard Kraut, Northwestern University '[The book] is strongly to be commended for the freshness of the questions it poses and for the author's intelligent approach to answering them.' A. A. Long, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
