Aristotle, Kant, and the Stoics: Rethinking Happiness and Duty

by Stephen P. Engstrom (Editor), Jennifer Whiting (Editor)

This major collection of essays offers the first serious challenge to the traditional view that ancient and modern ethics are fundamentally opposed. In doing so it has important implications for contemporary ethical thought, as well as providing a significant reassessment of the work of Aristotle, Kant and the Stoics. The contributors include internationally recognized interpreters of ancient and modern ethics.

I tried to get into this book but the authors are horrible writers. Very confusing prose and poor use of words. Good info on Aristotle and Kant but hard to follow most of the time.
